2001 $1 Silver Proof Coin - Centenary of the Australian Army
The Royal Australian Mint has produced a $1 fine silver proof coin commemorating 100 years of the service of the Australian Army.
The 'Rising Sun' badge and the words 'The Australian Army' appear on the coin. Acknowledging the 100th anniversary are the dates '1901-2001' underneath the crest and 'Centenary of the Army' above.
During our Centenary of Federation, the Army also celebrates 100 years in defence of Australia and protection of other regions of the world. Our servicemen and women have now been acknowledged with the production of a coin in their honour.
