Australia 1 dollar Battle of Tobruk Army Soldiers PR69 PCGS silver coin 2011

The 2011 Australian $1 silver coin “Battle of Tobruk” is a tribute to one of the most iconic chapters in military history. Struck in fine silver and graded PR69DCAM by PCGS, it commemorates the siege of Tobruk in 1941, where Australian soldiers – later known as the “Rats of Tobruk” – displayed remarkable courage and resilience against Axis forces.

On the obverse, the coin features the classic portrait of Queen Elizabeth II by Ian Rank-Broadley, encircled with inscriptions ELIZABETH II – AUSTRALIA 2011 – 1 DOLLAR. The reverse carries a powerful wartime composition: on the left, a soldier in uniform stands in solemn profile, while the right side shows Australian troops in defensive positions under the desert sun, highlighted in golden tones. At the bottom, the bold inscription TOBRUK 1941 with military color bars emphasizes the theme of remembrance.

Minted with prooflike brilliance, this coin is part of Australia’s commemorative military series and a meaningful symbol of sacrifice, endurance, and national pride. Rarely available in such high grade, it is a desirable piece for both collectors of world silver coins and those honoring wartime history.
