The Royal Australian Mint has released this coloured $2 coin into circulation, marking a century of remembrance in Australia. Developed with the assistance of the Australian War Memorial, this moving coin commemorates the centenary of the First World War Armistice, signed on 11 November 1918.
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.
