2019 England to Australia Great Air Race Eight-Coin Set

Why We Chose It: This beautifully presented collection commemorates the centenary of the historic 1919 England to Australia Air Race, one of the great pioneering achievements of early aviation. The race challenged crews to complete the extraordinary journey from England to Australia at a time when long-distance air travel was still in its infancy. Featuring eight individual coin designs celebrating the aircraft and courageous crews who took part, the set brings together Australian history, aviation and numismatics in a particularly engaging collection. Presented in its original collectable tin, it is a wonderful tribute to the determination, innovation and adventurous spirit that helped shape Australia’s aviation story.
