Comment
The Royal Australian Mint released this NCLT "C" Mintmarked coin in a coincard to commemorate 10 Years since the first Coloured $2 Red Poppy coin was issued in 2012. Only 60,000 were minted and no circulation version of the coin will be issued.
The coin commemorates Remembrance Day, the 11th of November, where at 11 am a minutes silence is observed to remember all of the fallen soldiers of all of the wars.
