The coin commemorates the 100th anniversary of the First Convoy that departed from Albany, Western Australia in November 1914 during World War I. The reverse (back) of the coin features ships, a coloured poppy, and lists the names of all 38 transport ships in the convoy. This determination gives the coin legal status as official Australian currency under the Currency Act 1965."},"flash_summary_failed":{"failed":true,"reason":"Unauthenticated.
