Anzac Day falls on 25 April each year, the day Australian and New Zealand troops landed on the Gallipoli peninsula in 1915.

Since 1916, it has been dedicated to commemorative activities honouring the courage and sacrifice of the first ANZAC's during World War I and all succeeding Defence Force personnel who have served in times of war and other operations.

The coin portrays a slouch hat and red poppy flowers, both iconic symbols closely tied to the identity of the Australian Army.

The red poppy holds profound significance, stemming from its connection to World War I, where it emerged as a symbol of remembrance - thriving amidst the devastated battlefields of Europe.

The slouch hat's historical importance traces back to Australia's entry into modern warfare at Gallipoli and the distinguished reputation earned by the Australian Imperial Force on the Western Front.

Since then, the upturned felt hat has come to represent the bravery of the Australian soldiers and has evolved into a national emblem, a symbol of distinction and pride.

Included in the design is a motif representing a torch and an eternal flame, the inscriptions '25 APRIL' and 'LEST WE FORGET', the year-date and a 'P' Mintmark.

Issued as Australian legal tender, the uncirculated aluminium bronze coin is housed in a beautifully designed card with a circular window revealing the coin's reverse and obverse designs.

On the obverse, the coin bears the Dan Thomas effigy of His Majesty King Charles III and monetary domination.

Fixed to the envelope are two official Australia Post stamps which are post marked First Day of Issue and the envelope includes Australia Post's Seal of Authenticity.
