2021 Operation Overlord: 50th Anniversary of the Battle of Long Khánh 50c Stamp and Coin Cover (PNC) Australia Post – Royal Australian Mint (Issue 25)
- A Defining Vietnam Conflict: Commemorates the 50th anniversary of Operation Overlord (June 1971) in South Vietnam's Long Khánh Province, honouring the bravery of the 1st Australian Task Force (1 ATF) in what proved to be the most intense and hard-fought action involving Australian forces in 1971 before their phased withdrawal.
- The Battle of Long Khánh 50c Coin: Features an uncirculated 50c legal tender dodecagonal cupro-nickel coin struck by the Royal Australian Mint, displaying a dynamic reverse design by Aaron Baggio capturing Australian soldiers in the jungle, a Centurion tank of the 1st Armoured Regiment, and an Iroquois helicopter overhead, paired with the Jody Clark effigy of Queen Elizabeth II on the obverse.
- Integrated Philatelic Presentation: Features an official Australia Post specially illustrated "Postage Paid" imprint directly integrated into the envelope design, cancelled with an official First Day of Issue pictorial postmark dated 7 June 2021 from Canberra ACT 2601, presented on an authentic pictorial envelope detailing the historic engagement.
- Strictly Limited Military Mintage: Released as official PNC Issue 25 of 2021 in the collaborative series between Australia Post and the Royal Australian Mint, restricted to a strictly limited mintage of only 7,000 units worldwide, making it an essential acquisition for military history enthusiasts, Australian service personnel, philatelists, and numismatists.
- Condition: Uncirculated coin in original presentation cover. Please note that minor handling or shelf wear may be present on the outer packaging.
