1995 20c United Nations 50th Anniversary Uncirculated Coin

A term coined by US President Roosevelt to describe a broad alliance of countries pledging to fight the Axis Powers in 1942, the United Nations was formally established in October 1945.

Working ever since to preserve global peace and foster international co-operation, the Untied Nations celebrated its 50th Anniversary in 1995.

Honouring the important role the UN has played in so many theatres of conflict in the decades since its creation, as well as the key contribution Australia has made to the organisation, the Government authorised the striking of this commemorative 20c coin.

A notable tribute to the United Nations, the 1995 UN 20c coin is a vital element of the decimal series.

Bearing a unique reverse design, the 1995 UN 20c is Australia's very first commemorative 20c coin.
