Issued as Australian legal tender, the uncirculated aluminium bronze coin is housed in a beautifully designed card with a circular window revealing the coin’s reverse and obverse designs.

The Anzac Day 2026 $1 Coin in Card has an unlimited mintage.

DESIGN

The coin portrays a slouch hat and red poppy flowers, both iconic symbols closely tied to the identity of the Australiar Army.

The red poppy holds profound significance, stemming from its connection to World War I1, where it emerged as a symbol of remembrance-thriving amidst the devastated battlefields of Europe. The slouch hat's historical impor, nce aces back tc Australia's entry into modern warfare at Gallipoli and the distinguished reputation earned by the Australian Imperial Force on the Western Front.

Since then, the upturned-brim felt hat has come to represent the bravery of the Australian soldiers and has evolved into a national emblem, a symbol of distinction and pride.

Included in the design is a motif representing a torch and an eternal flame, the inscriptions '25 APRIL and 'LEST WE FORGET', the year-date and a 'P' mintmark.

The coin’s obverse bears depicts the Dan Thorne effigy of His Majesty King Charles III, and the monetary denomination.
