2020 Three-Coin Silver Proof Set - 75th Anniversary of the End of the Second World War

A collaboration between the Royal Australian Mint, The Royal Mint and New Zealand Post, this Three-Coin Silver Proof Set marks the 75th anniversary of the end of the Second World War. The detailed coins honour those lost by each nation while capturing the jubilation of the war’s end and conveying optimism for a peaceful future.

The conclusion of the Second World War ended six years of wartime hardships for Australia, New Zealand and England. With nearly one million Australian men and women serving in the Second World War, its impacts were felt by all. So, on 15 August 1945, when Australian Prime Minister Ben Chifley announced the end of the war in the Pacific, joy erupted across the country with thousands of people taking to the streets to celebrate. Tens of thousands of servicemen and women and prisoners of war began returning home and the country turned to rebuilding. This poignant three-coin collection celebrates the unshakable bond between allies Australia, England and New Zealand and will be a valuable addition to any collector’s set.
