The last time the world found itself at war on a global scale, millions of lives were lost and nearly every continent was affected by the evils of war. The Perth Mint released a series of gold and silver coins in 2013 commemorating World War II, with specific designs honoring the combination of American and Australian forces to victory in the War in the Pacific.

Coin Highlights:
The War in the Pacific during World War II officially began in full when the Japanese attacked the US Naval Station at Pearl Harbor in Hawaii on December 7, 1941. The American fleet was entirely destroyed, with the exception of its vital aircraft carriers which had been out on maneuvers at the time of the attack.
Throughout the ensuing four years of warfare, the United States and its vital Allies in the region, most notably Australia, fought tooth and nail with the Japanese Imperial Navy to wrest control of countless island chains back from the clutches of Japan. In what became known as an island-hopping campaign, the Americans and Australians would engage in some of the war’s bloodiest battles for the freedom of the region.
On the reverse face of these 1/10 oz Australian Gold War in the Pacific coins you’ll find the image of the perched eagle in the center of the design, serving as a barrier between the Australian flag on the left and the Stars and Stripes of the United States on the right. An exact depiction of the eagle stands today at a memorial in the center of Canberra, Australia’s federal capital.
The obverse face of the coin has the right-profile portrait of Queen Elizabeth II designed in 1998 by Ian Rank-Broadley. This face includes engravings of Her Majesty’s name, the nation of issue, year of issue, and the coin’s weight, purity, metal content, and face value.
The Perth Mint is Australia’s oldest operating facility, having opened in 1898 as the third and final of the Royal Mint facilities in Australia. Today it operates independently of the federal government’s Royal Australian Mint, and is owned by the state of Western Australia.

"Amazing service and hospitality from the staff at IDC! Jason was so attentive and patient in our search for our ideal watches. He took us through several options, had us try every watch we were interested in, took our information and continued searching for options. A few hours later, we had our watches on hold and ready for pick up! He located a watch that I LOVE, and a unique piece for my husband. We are grateful to have found our new Jeweler for many pieces to come!"
