Where it came from
Released by the Royal Australian Mint in 2005, this coin commemorates the 60th anniversary of the end of the Second World War. The piece serves as a numismatic tribute to the personnel who returned home following the cessation of hostilities in 1945, reflecting Australia’s national efforts to honor the service and sacrifice of its veterans during that era.
The reverse design, crafted by artist Wojciech Pietranik, features a stylized depiction of a soldier returning to his family, rendered in fine silver. Pietranik, known for his work on Australian coinage and commemorative medals, intended to capture the quiet, emotional resonance of homecoming. The coin was produced in a proof finish, emphasizing the intricate relief of the design and catering to collectors interested in high-quality commemorative issues.
