2026 Dawn Service 'C' Colour-Printed ($2) Two Dollar Silver Proof Coin
Description
Dawn service
The Dawn Service has become an integral part of ANZAC Day in Australia.
Each year on 25th April, vast numbers of Australians mark ANZAC Day by attending a dawn service. An evocative way to commemorate the sacrifices of those who have served their country, dawn services are held throughout Australia, as well as at some key commemorative sites overseas - such as Gallipoli, where the original ANZACS landed in 1915.
The time of day mirrors the dawn landing of the ANZACS on the Gallipoli peninsula in 1915, and reflects the broader signification of dawn during World War I.
A typical dawn service includes a commemorative address, laying of wreaths, playing of the military bugle calls, and a one or two-minute period of silence.
The Royal Australian Mint commemorates the dawn service with this stunning coin design.
The coin features a striking representation of the dawn service with the sun rising over the ocean, which is colour printed.
