Commemorating the 85th anniversary of the pivotal events of 1941 during the Second World War, this stunning three-coin collection honors the courage, resilience, and changing faces of Australians serving both at home and abroad. With a strict product issue limit of just 35,000 sets, this release is a must-have piece of Australian history.

The Untold Stories of the 1941 Service Amid Strife Coin Collection

The year 1941 was a definitive, turning-point chapter in World War II. Australian forces found themselves fighting intense campaigns across the Mediterranean—on land, in the air, and at sea. Meanwhile, the Australian home front was undergoing a monumental transformation of its own.

This beautifully presented set features three unique, selectively coloured 20-cent uncirculated coins, each telling a vital story from that fateful year:

1. Greece & Crete

• The Design: Captures an Australian soldier manning an anti-aircraft gun against a backdrop of invading German parachutes and Junkers planes.

• The Artistry: The design incorporates Minoan-inspired architecture and is highlighted by the striking blue and white tones of the Greek flag.

2. North Africa & the Middle East

• The Design: Features the historic HMAS Stuart, a Hawker Hurricane fighter aircraft, and a powerful 25-pounder field gun.

• The Artistry: Accented with regional tile patterns and vivid, medal-inspired color palettes that reflect the harsh and heroic campaigns of the desert.

3. The Formation of the Women’s Services

• The Design: Celebrates the establishment of women’s auxiliary services (including the WAAAF, AWAS, and WRANS) which challenged societal norms as women stepped into vital, highly technical wartime roles.

• The Artistry: Features Morse code spelling out the service acronyms, bordered by a brilliant color ring inspired by the distinct blue of the Women’s Auxiliary Australian Air Force uniforms.
