| Additional information |
The Australian/American Memorial in Canberra, dedicated in 1954, commemorates the alliance forged under the ANZUS Treaty of 1951 — a pact driven largely by Australian anxiety about regional security following the fall of Singapore in 1942. Perth Mint's bullion issues tied to national monuments occupy an awkward middle ground: too topical for pure bullion buyers, too commercially produced for serious commemorative collectors. KM#2074 is a one-year type with no known die varieties of consequence.
