| Additional information |
Issued in 1990 to mark the 75th anniversary of the Gallipoli landings, this coin arrived at a moment of particular national introspection — the last major ANZAC anniversary before the death of the final surviving Gallipoli veterans. Alec Campbell, who landed at Gallipoli as a 16-year-old in 1915, would not die until 2002, but by 1990 the living link to the campaign was already threadbare. The commemorative program reflected a deliberate effort by the Australian government to institutionalise ANZAC memory before that link broke entirely.
