2014 Victoria CrossSince 1856, the Victoria Cross has been bestowed upon those members of the British and commonwealth forces who, in the face of the enemy, experience these to the fullest. As a true testimony to highest military honor, only 100 Australians have been awarded the medal throughout its history. These fine men, who represent all who have served, are honored on this coin.

These commemorative coins celebrate a century of national management of Australian lighthouses.
