A tribute to Australia’s most daring WWII special forces unit.

During WWII, Z Special Unit provided intelligence and conducted guerrilla warfare operations and clandestine raids on a total of 81 operations in the South West Pacific theatre. Many of the unit members were inserted by parachute and submarine and utilised the the iconic 'Sleeping Beauty' - a motorised canoe used for placing limpet mines on Japanese boats. Their legacy laid the foundation for Australia’s modern special forces.

This coin is the First in a five-coin limited-edition Z Special Unit Set, and features:

  • Back: Features the iconic 'Sleeping Beauty' - a motorised canoe used for placing limpet mines on Japanese boats.

  • Material: Pewter handcrafted in Western Australia by Buckingham Pewter

  • Size: 42mm challenge coin with deep-etched detailing

  • Edition: Strictly limited 100 - once sold out, this design will not return

Great coin, Jack Sue was a Midland identity and JP, he kindly signed my Blood On Borneo and these coins will be a fantastic companion to a special part of Australian Military history. The foundation does great work and its a privilege to support it and the SAS community. Thank you for your service.

I love the striking look of the Z Special Unity coin. Sits nicely on my desk at work. Well made and it is significant knowing only 100 have been made! Good to be supporting the SASR for the first time with a purchase.

A nice coin, good value

IMO the coin isn’t as great as the rest that I have collected from 964, however, it will go nicely in a shadow box I intend to put it in
