Battle of Kapyong 70th Anniversary Commemorative Coin

The Bradford Exchange $10 coin commemorates the Battle of Kapyong, a crucial yet often overlooked engagement in the Korean War. This historic battle, occurring from 23-25 April 1951, saw Australian, New Zealand, Canadian, British, and American troops, vastly outnumbered by Chinese forces, hold their ground against overwhelming odds. With only 2,800 soldiers against a Chinese division of 10,600, the allied forces exhibited exceptional bravery and strategic prowess to prevent the fall of Seoul to communist control. Despite the heavy toll—32 Australians killed, 53 wounded, and three captured—the combined efforts of these soldiers, supported by New Zealand artillery, successfully repelled repeated enemy attacks. Their determination and sacrifice not only stalled the Chinese advance but also exemplified the resolve to maintain peace and security in a volatile region.
