Part of the Royal Australian Mint's broader ANZAC Centenary program running from 2014 to 2018, this particular release focused on the "Making of a Nation" theme — the argument, advanced strongly by the early 20th century, that Gallipoli and the subsequent Western Front campaigns forged a distinct Australian national identity separate from British imperial identity. The pad-printing technique, rather than traditional colorization or plain relief, was chosen to achieve photographic-quality detail in the design elements.
