2026 Dawn Service $2 C Mintmark Colour Uncirculated Coin

The dawn service has long been synonymous with Anzac Day. Held across the country and attended by Australians from all walks of life, the services typically begin in near darkness, evoking the conditions of the landing at Gallipoli on 25 April 1915. In the design we see light break over the horizon, as Australians stand together in silence, reflecting upon the sacrifices made by those who have served in wars, conflicts and peace operations. Poppies decorate the field, while a lone soldier stands on the headland, head bowed, facing the sun.
