This commemorative $2 Uncirculated coin honours Australia's involvement in the Vietnam War, recognising the service and sacrifice of those who served between 1962 and the early 1970s.
Australian forces operated primarily in Phuoc Tuy Province and were involved in major battles including Long Tan, Coral/Balmoral, Baria, Binh Ba, Long Khanh and Nui Le, alongside numerous smaller engagements.
More than 60,000 Australians served in Vietnam, with 523 losing their lives and many more wounded. This period remains one of the most significant and complex chapters in Australia's modern history.
Struck in aluminium-bronze and featuring the sought-after 'C' Mintmark, this coin is presented encapsulated and carded, making it a meaningful addition to any Australian collection.
