Five Dollars 2018 Sea, Land and Air, Coin from Australia
CoinFive Dollars 2018 Sea, Land and Air

The five dollar denomination of the Australian dollar (written as $5) is served by a banknote for normal daily transactions.

From time to time, the Royal Australian Mint also issues $5 coins for collectors (Non-Circulating Legal Tender, or NCLT). Some special coins, such as this one, are made with a triangular shape.

This commemorative $5 coloured coin is the final triangular issue in the Royal Australian Mint's ANZAC Centenary Coin Program and is dedicated to the "Tri-Services". It features a design inspired by the spectacular stained glass artwork of Napier Wall in the Hall of Memory at the Australian War Memorial.

Having previously operated independently from each other, in 1976 each of the three services (Navy, Army and Air Force - Sea, Land and Air) were grouped under a single headquarters command known as the Australian Defence Force (ADF).

The coins were released in Proof FDC grade, in special gift packaging with a numbered Certificate of Authenticity. Issue price: A$90.00. No coins of this type were released into circulation.
