2015 20c ANZAC Centenary WWI The Unknown Soldier Legacy Issue Unc Coin in RAM CardThe Tomb of the Unknown Soldier is in the Hall of Memory at the Australian War Memorial.We will never know who the Australian soldier buried in this special place is.We don’t know where he was born, which school he went to or even his military rank.All we know is that he was one of the 45,000 Australian who died fighting on the Western Front during World War One. He represents the sacrifice of all Australians who have died serving this country in war.At the end of World War One, thousands of Australian soldiers were buried in battlefield cemeteries overseas.Those whose identities were not known were buried in graves marked with the simple words “An Australian soldier of the Great War – known unto God.”In 1993, the remains of an unknown Australian soldier from the Adelaide War Cemetery, near Villers-Bretonneux in France were exhumed and reburied at the Australian War Memorial on November 11, the 75th Anniversary of the end of World War One.During the ceremony, Prime Minister Paul Keating said even though the nation did not know the soldiers identity, ‘He is all of the. And he is one if us.”Housed in an Official Royal Australian Mint presentation coloured card.Denomination : 20cQuality : UncirculatedMetal : Cupro NickelWeight : 11.30 gramsDiameter : 28.52 mmMintage : TBACertificate of Authenticity : Royal Australian Mint Commemorative PackagingAdvertising Date : 3rd April 2015Release Date : 3rd April 2015
