The Siege of Tobruk th

The year 2016 marks the 75 anniversary of the Siege of Tobruk, one of the first major battles of World War II. The Siege of Tobruk took place between April and December 1941. Australian troops made up more than half of the Allied presence in Tobruk, with more th than 14,000 men from the Australian 9th Division and the 18 th Brigade of the Australian 7 Division, commanded by Lieutenant General Leslie Morshead.

As the siege endured over several months, Nazi propagandist Lord Haw Haw (William Joyce) broadcasting from Berlin, said the Allies were caught like “rats in a trap”. The derisive term was embraced by the Australian troops who took great pride in calling themselves the ‘Rats of Tobruk’.

A National Treasure This unique 2oz silver coin features a true Australian icon, the kangaroo, hopping across a typical outback landscape.

To capture the depth and wonderful detail of the design, the coin is struck in high relief to a rimless format and features an antique finish.
