Each year on 25 April, Australians across the country gather in the quiet stillness before sunrise for an enduring Anzac Day tradition: the dawn service. These solemn ceremonies invite us to reflect upon the many courageous and dedicated Australians who have served their country – from the Anzacs who landed at Gallipoli in 1915, through to service personnel in the present day.
The Royal Australian Mint presents these $2 coloured coins as a homage to the dawn service, and to the Anzac spirit that lives ever on. Lest we forget.
The Design
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.
