Where it came from
The 2010 Lost Soldiers of Fromelles 20-cent coin was issued by the Royal Australian Mint to commemorate the discovery and reburial of Australian and British soldiers who fell during the Battle of Fromelles in 1916. The coin was produced as part of a national effort to honor the identification of remains at the Pheasant Wood military cemetery, providing a poignant reminder of the heavy toll paid by soldiers during the First World War.
The coin features a design by Wojciech Pietranik, a prolific sculptor known for his work on Australian coinage, including the 2000 Sydney Olympic medals. His design incorporates a silhouette of a soldier and a wreath, emphasizing a somber and respectful tone appropriate for the subject matter. It was well-received by the public and numismatic community as a dignified contribution to Australian military history, serving both as legal tender and a reflective commemorative piece.
