Nice coin, Hondo. But weird that the US Mint struck coins for Australia.

Thank you all! NumisEd, the US minted many coins for other governments during WWII. I posted one from Fiji not long ago. Here is an article that discusses a few of them (but only a few).

The articles do not discuss why the US Mint struck the coins for Australia. And last time I checked, the Japanese didn't invade Australia and made it a puppet state.

Some countries, such as Australia, experienced a great need for more coinage during WWII due to the number of foreign troops stationed there.
Here is a press release from the US Treasury Department in 1945: Wartime Contribution to Foreign Coinage
