Commemorate a defining chapter of Australia’s World War II history with the 2026 1941: Service Amid Strife – North Africa & Middle East 20c Coloured Uncirculated Coin from the Royal Australian Mint. This powerful commemorative release honours the bravery and determination of Australian forces during pivotal campaigns fought across North Africa and the Middle East in 1941.
In December 1940, Australian troops spearheaded the first major Allied ground offensive of the Second World War, successfully capturing the Libyan coastal cities of Bardia, Tobruk, and Benghazi. These victories marked a major turning point during the early stages of the conflict.
As German reinforcements entered the region, Allied forces were forced into retreat. However, the largely Australian garrison stationed at Tobruk became legendary for its resilience during the prolonged siege that lasted from April through October 1941.
Australian troops also played a decisive role in defeating Vichy French forces in Lebanon during July 1941, helping deny Nazi Germany access to the Middle East and its strategically critical oil reserves. This coloured commemorative coin serves as a tribute to those who served during these significant wartime campaigns.
The 1941: Service Amid Strife – North Africa & Middle East coin honours the courage and endurance of Australian servicemen who fought in some of the most important campaigns of World War II. Combining detailed coloured artwork with deep historical significance, this release is a valuable addition for collectors of Australian commemorative coins and military memorabilia.
