Due to current high demand there is a delay on orders leaving the warehouse. We are also experiencing a high volume of calls and emails and will get back to you as quickly as possible.
With the centenary of the First World War naturally causing a spike in demand for 1914-18 coins, it was extremely difficult to create this historic presentation. With limited stocks available, we advise you act now!
Genuine, original artefacts of the First World War, the coins struck from 1914 to 1918 enable the collector to form a tangible connection with those who served Australia during the nation's Baptism of Fire.
Struck the best part of a century ago, and issued in very low numbers to accommodate a small Australian WWI population, the coins of 1914-18 are increasingly hard-to-find. This is particularly the case with the florin, shilling, sixpence and threepence because, as they are struck from sterling silver (92.5% pure), a huge number have been melted for the intrinsic silver value.
