A Story of Service and Sacrifice

This coin serves as a powerful reminder of the often-unsung contributions of animals in wartime. From the iconic Simpson and his donkey to the messenger pigeons, camels, horses, and even mine detection dogs, their stories are woven into the fabric of Australia's military history.

The purple poppy, introduced by the Australian War Animal Memorial Organisation (AWAMO) in 2013, is a symbol of the bravery and sacrifice of these loyal companions. This coin ensures that their service will never be forgotten.
