Two Dollars 2015 Lest We Forget (Red), Coin from Australia
CoinTwo Dollars 2015 Lest We Forget (Red)

The Australian two dollar coin denomination (written as $2) was introduced in 1988 to replace a banknote of the same value. Its original ("definitive") design depicts an Aboriginal Elder and is issued every year. The Royal Australian Mint also uses the denomination to issue a large variety of circulating commemorative coins with the same size and composition - such as this one.

This coin commemorates 100 years since the Anzac Cove landings during World War I. Inspired by the poppy - the international remembrance symbol for the war, the distinctive and powerful red coloured print encapsulates the solemn words "Lest We Forget".

The obverse shows the crowned mature head of Queen Elizabeth II facing right (her effigy known as the "Fourth Portrait"). The Queen wears the "Girls of Great Britain and Ireland" diamond tiara, a wedding gift from Queen Mary (Her Majesty's grandmother) in 1947 - which she also has on the Machin and the Gottwald portraits.

In small letters below the head, the artist's initials IRB (for Ian Rank-Broadley).

Around the effigy is the monarch's legend and the date: ELIZABETH II AUSTRALIA 2015.
