Comments
This 2026 dated coloured $2 coin is issued by the RAM in a coincard with a 'C' Mintmark. (100,000 copies)
Each year on 25th April, Australians across the country gather in the quiet stillness before sunrise for an enduring Anzac Day tradition: the Dawn Service. These solemn ceremonies invite us to reflect upon the many courageous and dedicated Australians who have served their country - from the Anzacs who landed at Gallipolli in 1915, through to service personnel in the present day.
The Coin is also released into circulation without the “C” Mintmark.
The non-mintmarked coin is also included in Australia Post PNC Issue No 6 of 2026 (7,000 copies).
