| Additional information |
Issued as part of Perth Mint's long-running World War II commemorative program, this piece marks the Eastern Front engagement that killed or wounded roughly two million combatants between August 1942 and February 1943. The Soviet victory at Stalingrad effectively ended Germany's strategic offensive capability in the east — Field Marshal Paulus surrendered the remnants of the 6th Army on February 2, 1943, the first time a German field marshal had been captured alive.
KM#306 carries a mintage ceiling typical of Perth's one-ounce commemorative releases, though actual certified populations remain low relative to issue figures.
