2017 $2 AlBr C Mintmark Colour Uncirculated Coin - Remembrance Day (Card Damage)

2017 $2 'C' Mintmark Coloured Uncirculated Coin: Remembrance Day – Rosemary

This 2017 $2 'C' Mintmark Coloured Uncirculated Coin is a moving tribute released to commemorate Remembrance Day (11 November), the anniversary of the Armistice that ended the First World War in 1918.

The distinctive pointed leaves and purple flowers of the herb rosemary make a moving and evocative design on this collectible coin. Rosemary is a powerful symbol of remembrance—as quoted in Shakespeare's Hamlet, "There's rosemary, that's for remembrance"—and Australians continue this tradition by wearing sprigs on Remembrance Day and ANZAC Day.
