Strict Limit 2 Per Household - Limit Details
Mark a powerful chapter in Australia’s military history with the 2026 50c Battle of Kapyong 50c coin.
Struck by the Royal Australian Mint, this commemorative release honours the 75th anniversary of the Battle of Kapyong (22–27 April 1951), a defining engagement of the Korean War—often referred to as the “forgotten war.” During this critical conflict, Australian troops of the 3rd Battalion, Royal Australian Regiment (3RAR), fought alongside United Nations forces to halt a major Chinese offensive aimed at recapturing Seoul.
Against overwhelming odds, Australian, Canadian, British, New Zealand and US forces combined to successfully repel the advance, securing a pivotal defensive victory that ensured Seoul remained under South Korean control.
The coin’s reverse design carries deep symbolic meaning. A striking floral motif, inspired by traditional Korean lattice patterns, forms the foundation of the artwork. Incorporated within the design are 32 poppies, each representing an Australian soldier who made the ultimate sacrifice at Kapyong—serving as a lasting tribute to their courage and sacrifice.
This uncirculated 50c coin is a poignant addition to any collection, commemorating bravery, international cooperation, and a battle that helped shape the course of the Korean War.
