Where it came from
The 2005 20-cent coin was issued by the Royal Australian Mint to commemorate the 60th anniversary of the end of World War II. It was part of a broader 'Coming Home' series, designed to honor the service personnel returning to Australia after the conclusion of the conflict in 1945.
The reverse design, created by Vladimir Gottwald, features a symbolic representation of a soldier reuniting with his family, framed by a laurel wreath. The obverse depicts the fourth portrait of Queen Elizabeth II by Ian Rank-Broadley. The issue was well-received by collectors and the public, serving as both a functional piece of currency and a commemorative token reflecting Australia's national history.
