2018 PNC - Armistice - A Century of Service - War Memorials

Highlighted by a brilliantly illustrated official envelope, as well as the RAM’s not-issued-for-circulation Armistice $1, the 2018 $1 Armistice PNC is very exclusive.

The stamp on this cover features the memorial statue Widow and Children, commissioned by Legacy and sculpted by Louis Larmen. Located in the Legacy Garden of Appreciation, alongside the Shrine of Remembrance in Melbourne, it is a memorial to those who have served in conflicts and those who bear the scars at home.

Legacy is a voluntary organisation supported by veterans, service personnel and volunteers, providing services to approximately 65,000 families of veterans who have died or been incapacitated by their military service.

Legacy's origins can be traced to WWI and to a soldier's promise to a dying mate to look after his family.

Released only in PNCs, mint and proof sets, this one dollar coin is an amazing release, with a tiny mintage. Only 3% of this coins total mintage was set aside for the PNC releases.
