Over the last seventy-five years (2022), Australia has had a long involvement in peacekeeping and peace operations. It began when four Australian military observers arrived in the Netherlands East Indies – now Indonesia – as members of a United Nations (UN) group to supervise the ceasefire between nationalist and Netherlands colonial forces. Since then 80,000 members of the Australian military, police and civilians have participated in 73 operations in 64 countries. Coloured coin with a ‘C’ mintmark in card.
