About this Coin

This 20c uncirculated coin pays tribute to the 22,000 Australians who became Prisoners of War (POWs) under the Japanese in Southeast Asia during World War II. Many were captured with the fall of Singapore in 1942, and 10,000 were forced to work on the Thai-Burma Railway. The coin honours the memory of these brave individuals, particularly Colonel Edward "Weary" Dunlop, a doctor who became a legend for his tireless efforts to care for his fellow prisoners. With a limited mintage of 245,800, this coin is a sought-after collector's item
