This 2026 $2 'C' Mintmark coloured uncirculated coin honours the place the dawn service holds in the hearts of Australians — that quiet tribute at first light that anchors Anzac Day across the country.
The reverse depicts gathering crowds paying their respects as the sun rises over the ocean, rendered in colour, with the inscription DAWN SERVICE – LEST WE FORGET and the ‘C’ mintmark for Canberra, the place of minting. The obverse carries the Dan Thorne effigy of His Majesty King Charles III, the denomination, and the 2026 year-date.
Struck in aluminium-bronze (AlBr) by the Royal Australian Mint and issued as legal tender under the Australian Currency Act 1965. Mintage: 100,000. Presented in a capsule within a sombre Anzac Day-themed card.
