Where it came from
The 2016 Australian 25-cent coin featuring the fourth portrait of Queen Elizabeth II, commonly referred to as the 'Long Tan' commemorative, was issued to honor the 50th anniversary of the Battle of Long Tan. This battle, fought in 1966, remains the most significant engagement involving Australian ground forces during the Vietnam War. The coin serves as a solemn tribute to the veterans and the historical impact of the conflict on Australian military history.
The design of the reverse side features the emblem of the Battle of Long Tan, which incorporates the crossed rifles and the distinctive slouch hat associated with the Australian Imperial Force and the Royal Australian Regiment. This commemorative piece was produced by the Royal Australian Mint to provide the public with a tangible connection to the remembrance of those who served. The obverse features Ian Rank-Broadley’s mature effigy of the Queen, which has been the standard portrait on Australian currency since 1999.
