This coloured proof coin from the Royal Australian Mint honours the Last Post, a military bugle call traditionally sounded at the close of each day's activities and now a defining feature of military funerals and commemorative services across Australia.
Each evening at the Australian War Memorial in Canberra, a Last Post Ceremony brings together visitors to lay wreaths at the Pool of Reflection, hear the story of a service person listed on the Roll of Honour, and hear the Last Post sounded. The same notes echo at Anzac Day and Remembrance Day ceremonies throughout the country.
The coin reverse, designed by L. Ashe, depicts a bugler sounding the Last Post in front of a war memorial, with dusky orange and deep purple hues in the printed circle at the centre. The obverse features the Daniel Thorne effigy of His Majesty King Charles III. The 'C' mintmark denotes Canberra as the place of minting.
Struck in 99.99% fine silver to the Royal Australian Mint's proof standard, the coin is presented in a protective capsule and presentation case with a numbered certificate of authenticity.
