The Star of Gallantry sits third in Australia's system of military decorations for acts of great gallantry in action, established in 1991 when Australia overhauled its honours framework to sever remaining ties with the British system. This commemorative circulating issue is part of the Royal Australian Mint's broader Honour Our Heroes series, which worked through the full hierarchy of Australian bravery and military awards across multiple annual releases in the mid-2010s.
