2012 $1 ANZAC Day Defence Force Nurses Unc Coin in Card

2012 $1 ANZAC Day Coin - Australian Defence Force Nurses

Preserving the knowledge of wartime sacrifices made by members of our nation’s Defence Force is important to each new generation of Australians, as the number of people attending ANZAC Day ceremonies testifies.

Anzac Day is a day on which we honour all those who gave lives in their service of their country. This year’s tribute salutes the nurses who have served, and continue to serve, in the Australian Defence Force.

These nurses have dealt with the face-to-face realities of war – the sick, the wounded, the dead and dying. They are served within Australia and in war zones across the world.

They have worked behind the lines in field hospitals, on hospital ships and transports. In many cases, they have suffered the same deprivations as their patients, and sacrificed their lives in the line of duty.

The design on this uncirculated $1 coin features nurses from both World Wars, and a patient receiving card. A bugler in silhouette, the inscription, ‘Lest We Forget’ and the date of ANZAC Day, April 25, are also included in the design.

Each coin is presented in a specially designed display card-stand.
