Befitting the beauty and prestige of Australia’s highest military honour, this exquisite coin takes advantage of frosting techniques and stunning silver to pay tribute to Australia’s 100 Victoria Cross recipients.
Fear. Bravery. Valour. Courage. Commitment. National pride. Since 1856, the Victoria Cross has been bestowed upon those members of the British and Commonwealth forces who, in the face of the enemy, experience these to the fullest. As a true testimony to highest military honour, only 100 Australians have been awarded the medal throughout its history (to date 2014).
