This set of three 2020 silver proof coins commemorates the 75th anniversary of the end of the Second World War, with a special coin each from the Royal Australian Mint, The Royal Mint and New Zealand Post. This set, consisting of an Australian $5 coin, a NZ $1 coin and a UK £5 coin, reflects the hope for peace and the sorrow of loss shared by the Allied nations of Australia, New Zealand and the United Kingdom.
The New Zealand coin is a 1oz version of the WWII 75 Years 2oz silver proof coin, featuring a remembrance wreath comprised of New Zealand native plants harakeke (flax) flowers and ponga (fern) koru and fronds.
A collaboration between the Royal Australian Mint, The Royal Mint and New Zealand Post (the official issuer of all commemorative coins in New Zealand), it is symbolic of the allied countries’ bond. |
