Legacy was established in Melbourne 100 years ago to provide services to the families of Australian Defence Force members who lost their life or health in World War 1. Some 60,000 service personnel were killed and more than 150.000 were wounded, leaving tens of thousands of veterans, partners and children without adequate support in the wake of the war. Today, there are 44 Legacy Clubs throughout Australia and one in London, providing emotional social and financial support to the families of veterans of World War II, the Korean War, Malayan Emergency, Vietnam War, campaigns in Iraq and Afghanistan and peacekeeping operations. Legacy currently supports 43,000 individuals and families across Australia, supported by over 3,600 volunteer members or Legatees. Legacy is funded through donations and fundraising activities. Legacy Week takes place every year in September to raise funds through the sale of badges and other items.

The PNC edition is a limited-release item with a mintage of just 7,500, making it a more exclusive collector's piece compared to the standard uncirculated coin on card. Collectors interested in owning a piece of Australian numismatic history may find the PNC edition particularly appealing.
