After the Second World War, the Australian Government agreed to the United Kingdom's proposal that Armistice Day be renamed Remembrance Day to commemorate those who were killed in both World Wars. Today the loss of Australian lives from all wars and conflicts is commemorated on Remembrance Day.
This coloured $2 Remembrance Day circulation coin features a centrally-sculpted design element of a dove in full flight carrying an olive branch - both recognised symbols of peace. The symbolic design was also inspired by the Australian Commonwealth Military Forces' original 'Rising Sun' badge.
