While friendships endured long after the war, equality did not.The coin's reverse design is based on the painting Indigenous Military Service by Kalkadoon artist Chern'ee Sutton.Each coin bears the 'C' Mintmark and is presented in a full colour presentation card.The obverse of the coin features the effigy of Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II sculpted by Jody Clark.Each coin is issued as Australian Legal Tender.Denomination :       $2Quality :                 UncirculatedMetal :                   Aluminium BronzeWeight :                 6.60 gmsDiameter :              20.50 mmMintage :                40,000Certificate of Authenticity : Royal Australian Mint CardPLEASE NOTE LIMIT - 3 PER CUSTOMER / HOUSEHOLD - ORDERS WILL BE AUTOMATICALLY CANCELLED
