| Additional information |
Australia's commemorative dollar program has issued so many WWII-themed pieces over the decades that individual releases risk blurring together, but the 75th anniversary year of 2020 carried specific weight: it marked the last major milestone at which significant numbers of living veterans could still participate in official commemorations. By 2020, the youngest Australian servicemembers of the Pacific War were in their mid-nineties.
The Raphael Maklouf-derived sixth portrait of Elizabeth II, introduced for Australian coinage in 2019, appears here in one of its earliest commemorative applications.
