2026 $2 The Last Post C Mintmark Coloured Silver Proof Coin - Limit 1 Per Customer/Household

2026 $2 The Last Post C Mintmark Coloured Silver Proof Coin 

Ahead of Remembrance Day, the Royal Australian Mint presents a new coloured $2 coin to commemorate a fixture of war remembrance in Australia: the Last Post.

This follows the Mint's coloured $2 release in April 2026, which depicted the Dawn Service tradition that is so inextricably linked with Anzac Day.

In military tradition, bugle calls such as the Last Post were played to signal different events and times of the day.

The Last Post marked the completion of the duty officer's rounds, in which they would check sentry posts and send off-duty soldiers to retire for the night.

It is now sounded at military funerals and commemorative services, including services held on Anzac Day and Remembrance Day.

The tune, familiar to Australians who have heard it throughout their lives, is simple yet poignant.

The coin design depicts a bugler sounding the Last Post in front of a war memorial.

Parts of the musical score are shown in a radiating pattern in the top half of the design, their arrangement reminiscent of the sun setting over the horizon.

Coin reverse features an artistic representation of the Last Post including colour print - as well as a 'C' Mintmark for Canberra the place of minting.

Each coin's obverse features the Daniel Thorne effigy of His Majesty King Charles III.

Each coin is issued as Australian legal Tender.
