ANZAC Stamps!<br />
Crucial predecimal types, the<br />
first ANZAC commemoratives<br />
were issued in 1935 for the<br />
<strong>Gallipoli</strong> 20th anniversary.<br />
Curiously, the 2d & 1/- stamps<br />
portrayed London’s Cenotaph<br />
– hardly a very Australian<br />
design!<br />
Difficult to source in top<br />
quality, the other 1935<br />
commemoratives are more<br />
relevant to Australia than the<br />
ANZAC stamps. Issued to<br />
celebrate the Silver Jubilee <strong>of</strong><br />
George V, the 2d, 3d and 2/-<br />
stamps depict a horse given to<br />
the King by Australia – a horse<br />
named Anzac!<br />
Among the very last Australian<br />
philatelic commemoratives<br />
<strong>of</strong> George’s reign, both stamp<br />
series are scarce.<br />

Australia – defending the Empire<br />
Honouring Australia’s role in the early part <strong>of</strong><br />
the First World War, these unique Silver Pro<strong>of</strong>s<br />
have naturally proved very popular – with<br />
collector and non-collector alike.<br />
Striking a chord with Australians from all walks<br />
<strong>of</strong> life, with so many people seeking a lasting,<br />
meaningful way to pay tribute to those who<br />
served the nation in WWI, the first two coins<br />
<strong>of</strong> the series honour those who unhesitatingly<br />
volunteered in 1914, and also Australia’s first<br />
naval victory. As eye-catching and as exclusive,<br />
the second pair commemorates the <strong>Gallipoli</strong><br />
Landing, and the fiercest encounter <strong>of</strong> the<br />
campaign, the Battle <strong>of</strong> Lone Pine.<br />
Brilliantly designed, historically accurate and<br />
superbly struck, each <strong>of</strong> these coins is…<br />
• crafted to Pro<strong>of</strong> quality from 25g <strong>of</strong><br />
sterling silver<br />
• taken from a worldwide mintage<br />
<strong>of</strong> just 5,000<br />
• <strong>of</strong>ficial Solomon Islands legal tender –<br />
spans 40mm in diameter<br />
• set in a case with a numbered Certificate<br />
