Throughout the Second World War, New Zealand had felt the full force of the Axis powers across several extremely tough theatres of conflict. New Zealand also saw its share of direct enemy attack. In the vast expanse of the ocean, away from military strictures and conventions, the rules of warfare could be challenged, bent and often broken. This was acutely apparent in the loss of the HMT Awatea. Previously hailed ‘the most beautiful passenger liner ever built’, she was also one of the fastest and, in 1940, was commandeered by the Royal Navy as a troop ship. Her last trip was to North Africa where, having delivered the No. 6 Commando Troop, she was attacked and sunk, her crew having put up an extremely valiant fight, hailed by the admiral of the fleet as having “fought the battle of a battleship”.
Struck to a high specification, only 9,999 crowns are available. Applications are now open for Issue one: "HMT Awatea Golden Crown Coin" Gold Crown, fully layered with pure 24K gold. Approved by Buckingham Palace, this exclusive crown depicts the dramatic sinking in finely sculpted raised-relief. Each coin is issued with a numbered Certificate of Authenticity detailing the events leading to the loss of the HMT Awatea and its importance to the Anzac legend.
