Pin It

The ‘Well Boy – You’ve done your Bit. What will Australia do for you?’ poster commemorated on this coin was launched in 1919 as part of the initial peace bonds promotional campaign. The sale of the bonds to the public provided much-needed funds towards ex-servicemen’s resettlement and pensions. This poster encapsulated the message that even those Australians who were not eligible to actively serve could still provide assistance to their country and its war veterans.

Proof Quality 99.9% Pure Silver

The rectangular shape of the coin is struck from 1oz of 99.9% pure silver in proof quality.

Original World War I Poster Design

The coin’s reverse features a coloured representation of the ‘Buy Peace Bonds’ poster headed by the inscription AUSTRALIAN PEACE BONDS. The Perth Mint’s traditional ‘P’ mintmark, and the coin’s weight and fineness also appear in the design.
