2011 Centenary of Duntroon Coin and Badge Set The Perth Mint is celebrating 100 years of Duntroon, the Royal Military College of Australia responsible for training cadets for service as officers in the Australian Army. The college was founded at Duntroon located in the Australian Capital Territory, in 1911, and is situated on picturesque grounds at the foot of Mount Pleasant. Over the years, Duntroon has established a rich history. Graduates have led Australian soldiers in every major military campaign in which Australia has been engaged. Recognised as one of the world’s leading military colleges, it proudly upholds a famous tradition of training and developing some of the country’s most accomplished leaders. Struck by The Perth Mint from 1oz of 99.9% pure silver in proof quality, the coin is issued as legal tender under the Australian Currency Act 1965. Just 7,500 of these coin and badge sets will be released.
