2018 $2 AlBr C Mintmark Coin - Lest We Forget - Eternal Flame

2018 $2 'C' Mintmark Coloured Coin: Lest We Forget – Eternal Flame

During the ANZAC Centenary period, the Royal Australian Mint continued its tradition of releasing coloured $2 'C' Mintmark coins to commemorate those who have made the ultimate sacrifice for their country. This striking and evocative design is inspired by the Eternal Flame at the Australian War Memorial. Suspended above the Pool of Reflection, the flame is a timeless symbol of remembrance and sacrifice.

The Eternal Flame at the Australian War Memorial has been burning since 1988 in perpetual remembrance of the 102,000 Australians who have died in war and other operations since 1885. This coin was released to coincide with ANZAC Day 2018.
