2017 Remembrance Day Coloured $2 'C' Mintmark

The distinctive pointed leaves and purple flowers of the herb rosemary make a moving and evocative design on this collectible version of the 2017 Remembrance Day coin that has been released into circulation. Featuring the ‘C’ for Canberra mintmark, this coin will strike a chord with history buffs, military enthusiasts and the families of those who have served.

Australians continue this tradition by wearing sprigs of rosemary on Remembrance Day and Anzac Day as a way to commemorate those who have died in active service and other military operations.

Remembrance Day is held on 11 November each year and marks the anniversary of the Armistice that brought an end to the First World War in 1918. As the centenary of this Armistice draws near the Royal Australian Mint continues the tradition of commemorating this day of national reflection with a beautifully and evocative coloured $2 coin.
