2011 50c Coin - 60th Anniversary of National Service

This 2011 50c coin commemorates the 60th anniversary of National Service in Australia and the dedication of the National Service Memorial at the Australian War Memorial in Canberra.

National Service played a vital role in Australia's defence preparedness for three decades, drawing young men from across the community into the Army, Air Force and Navy. Many of these National Servicemen went on to become well-known figures in Australian society.

The coin's reverse design features an aerial view of the National Service Memorial, incorporating elements representing the three branches of the armed forces. It is encapsulated in an official Royal Australian Mint presentation card.

Please note: There is some wear to the card and capsule.

With a mintage of just 44,360, this coin is a sought-after piece of Australian military history.
