Part of the fabric of Australian life, Australian Red Cross is part of the International Red Cross Red Crescent Movement – the world’s largest humanitarian movement, with tens of millions of members and volunteers operating all over the world in more than 188 countries. From assisting someone caught up in an emergency or helping an elderly person stay in their home, to saving a life with first aid or a blood donation, Red Cross has been there, touching the lives of most Australians in some way.

A fine way to pay tribute to this great Australian organisation – and such a triumphant example of the nation’s Volunteer Spirit – this exclusive release has a worldwide mintage of just 5,000 coins.
