Comment
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 features a representation of a War Memorial, a place for people to gather and remember those who have served in and died as a result of war. This coin is a continuation of the "Lest We Forget" series of coins issued by the Perth Mint and is the 16th one issued.
Issued as Australian legal tender, the uncirculated Aluminium-bronze coin is housed in a presentation card with a circular window revealing the coin’s reverse and obverse designs.
