| Beschrijving keerzijde | The reverse depicts a dramatic commemorative scene honoring the Japanese bombing of Darwin on 19 February 1942. Two Australian soldiers in campaign dress and slouch hats man an anti-aircraft gun in the foreground, while a warship is visible in the left background and a Japanese aircraft flies in the upper field. A rectangular cartouche in the lower center bears the inscriptions 'WWII' and 'AUSTRALIA' in raised lettering, below which a colorized ribbon in the green and red colors of the Australia Service Medal is applied. The arc legend 'BOMBING OF DARWIN - 1942' appears along the upper rim. |

| Aanvullende informatie |
Darwin was attacked on 19 February 1942 in the largest single foreign assault ever carried out on Australian soil — a raid involving more Japanese aircraft than struck Pearl Harbor two months earlier. The event was suppressed by Australian authorities for weeks, partly to prevent panic and partly to conceal the scale of military failure. Niue has become a prolific issuer of commemorative pieces for the Australian and Pacific collector market, and this silver-plated copper-nickel piece sits squarely in that commercial niche rather than any official Australian commemorative program.
