In the stillness before sunrise each Anzac Day, Australians gather in quiet reflection. Across cities, towns
and small communities, people stand together in the dim light of dawn to remember those who have
served our nation.

Seventy-five years ago, in the steep hills of Korea, Australian soldiers faced one of the most intense battles
of the Korean War. At the Battle of Kapyong, fought from 23 to 25 April 1951, courage, endurance and
sacrifice shaped a defining moment in Australia’s military history.

Flowers, coins, hats and lavender tea – the perfect recipe for a charming day out at the Royal Australian
Mint.
