1999 $1 Dual Set - Includes Anzac $1 and Year of the Older Person $1 Uncirculated Coins in official Royal Australian Mint Pack.The Last ANZACSOn 25 April 1915 at Gallipoli, the Australia and New Zealand Army Corps (ANZAC) were not aware of the legend they would create - a legend whose values and traditions have become a part of the ethos of both nations.Beginning as an acronym, today 'ANZAC' means mateship - a spirit of courage, strength in adversity, and selflessness. THE LAST ANZACS coin in a tribute to those who fought for out freedom.Designed by Wojciech Pietranik, the reverse of this coin features a gently frosted portrait of an ANZAC soldier standing proud against a polished background.International Year of the Older PersonsThe United Nations declared 1999 as the International Year of Older Persons (IYOP).Australians joined to acknowledge the Year by embracing the theme 'Australia - towards a society of all ages'.In an ageing Australia the theme is appropriate, recognising the importace of fostering intergenerational activities and understanding to create a balance between tradition and innovation in economic, social and cultural development.The logo featured on the IYOP coin in this set has great symbolic significance, emphasising vitality, diversity and interdependence. The image also illustrates movement and progression.Specifications of each coinDenomination : $1Finish : UncirulatedMetal : Aluminium BronzeWeight : 9.00gramsDiameter : 25.00mmPlease note : Some toning will occur on the coins
