Two Dollars 2023 Remembrance Day (Blue and Green), Coin from Australia - detailed information
| ||||||
The two dollar coin denomination (written as $2) was introduced in Australia in 1988, replacing the earlier banknotes. The original reverse design by Horst Hahne on circulating coins has not been changed since its introduction. The denomination is also often used to issue circulating commemorative coins with various reverses. Apart from the circulating coinage, both the Royal Australian Mint and the Perth Mint have extensive programs issuing $2 coins for collectors (Non-Circulating Legal Tender, or NCLT), such as this one. This coloured two dollar coin was first issued in 2017 to mark Remembrance Day (sometimes known informally as Poppy Day). Remembrance Day is a memorial day observed in Commonwealth of Nations member states since the end of the First World War to remember the members of their armed forces who have died in the line of duty. Following a tradition inaugurated by King George V in 1919, the day is also marked by war remembrances in many non-Commonwealth countries. Remembrance Day is observed on 11 November in most countries to recall the end of hostilities of World War I on that date in 1918. This sixth coloured design in the series is blue and green and features a wreath of rosemary flowers; rosemary has traditionally been worn on ANZAC Day and Remembrance Day as a way to commemorate those who have died in active service and other military operations. The design was re-issued as non-circulating legal tender (NCLT) in 2023 as part of a set commemorating the 35th anniversary of the $2 denomination. | ||||||
