1941: Service Amid Strife Second World War
May 11, 2026 | Featured
Fighting around the Mediterranean, on the sea, in the air, and on the land, characterised the experiences of the Australian armed forces during 1940 and 1941. The Royal Australian Mint presented the 1941: Service Amid Strife (Australia in the Second World War) coin release.
The three coins commemorate the major campaigns in these areas in 1941, as well as the establishment of the women’s services, which first came into being during that same year.
