Silver Ounce 2018 Sir John Monash, Coin from Australia - detailed information

The Australian one ounce silver piece (abbreviated as 1 oz and designated with Ag for "silver") is a bullion and commemorative coin format. Uniquely, in Australia there are two mints authorised to strike legal tender: the Royal Australian Mint (which also makes the country's circulating coinage) and the Perth Mint which only makes collector and bullion coins, as well as other bullion products.

Both mints endeavour to create coins with attractive designs, and to introduce new designs and themes often, in order to raise the numismatic value of the coins over the value of previous metal used.

This one-ounce silver coin commemorates Sir John Monash.

The mint says about it:
Sir John Monash (1865 - 1931) is one of the greatest figures in Australian history. An outstanding commander during the First World War, he continued his exceptional service upon his return and was knighted for his services in 1918. His postwar endeavours both served the community and helped build the nation we are privileged to enjoy today. Military enthusiasts, proud Australians and collectors will all value the story of one of Australia's greatest figures, told with these unique coins.
