Victory at Sea Penny In Blister Pack

The special Victory at Sea Penny In Blister Pack is a must-have for collectors or as a gift. This penny is a part of the 'Australia in the Great War 1914-1918 Collection' and commemorates Australia's first naval victory at sea. On the morning of 9 November 1914, HMAS Sydney engaged in a battle with Germany's SMS Emden, veering from the convoy carrying the first Australian and New Zealand troops to the war. Despite being hit first, Sydney maintained relentless and accurate fire, resulting in the Emden being ablaze on the rocks of North Keeling Island within an hour and a half. The penny is presented in a blister pack with details on the engagement.
