The Perth Mint's mint mark, "P", is to one side of the design. Inscriptions include BATTLE OF THE CORAL SEA and WAR IN THE PACIFIC 1941-45. The Battle of the Coral Sea was a highly significant World War II engagement that effectively stopped the Japanse advancement to the south and has been referred to as the battle that saved Australia. Coin Design The reverse design features a battleship sailing the Coral Sea. Lasting from 1941 until August 1945, the Americans combined with the Australians lead the Pacific Ocean region to freedom and safety, pushing the Japanese back and securing victory for the Allies. The United States Navy, Marine Corps, and Army began a long-term island-hopping campaign that swept across the Pacific Ocean toward the home islands of Japan. Once the Japanese attacked the American Naval Fleet at Pearl Harbor, Hawaii, a sleeping giant was awakened. Throughout much of the 1930s, the Japanese had expanded out from their home islands in a war that went largely unnoticed, or at least drew no reaction from most world powers. During the War, Australian and American forces came together to defeat the widespread threat of the Japanese Imperial Navy and Army.
