2026 20c Coloured Uncirculated Coin Women's Services

Fighting around the Mediterranean, on the sea, in the air, and on the land, characterised the experiences of the Australian armed forces during 1940 and 1941. The Royal Australian Mint is proud to present the 1941: Service Amid Strife (Australia in the Second World War) coin release. The three coins in this set commemorate the major campaigns in these areas in 1941, as well as the establishment of the women’s services, which first came into being during that same year.

This coin commemorates the establishment of Australian women’s auxiliary services in 1941. The design depicts a few of the many roles undertaken by women in these services. Three lines of morse code radiate from the telegraph key near the centre of the design, spelling out the acronyms of the three services. The colour print is inspired by the uniform colours of the Women’s Auxiliary Australian Air Force – the first and largest of the services.
