Ahead of Remembrance Day, the Royal Australian Mint releases this coloured $2 coin to commemorate the Last Post, a fixture of war remembrance in Australia. It follows the Mint's coloured $2 coin from April 2026 that depicted the Dawn Service tradition.
In military tradition, bugle calls were played to signal different events and times of day. The Last Post marked the completion of the duty officer's rounds, sending off-duty soldiers to retire for the night. It is now sounded at military funerals and commemorative services, including Anzac Day and Remembrance Day. The tune is simple yet poignant, familiar to Australians throughout their lives.
The coin reverse, designed by L. Ashe, depicts a bugler sounding the Last Post in front of a war memorial, with parts of the musical score shown in a radiating pattern reminiscent of the sun setting over the horizon. The obverse features the Daniel Thorne effigy of His Majesty King Charles III. The 'C' mintmark denotes Canberra as the place of minting.
Struck to the Royal Australian Mint's uncirculated finish, the coin is packaged in a protective capsule and presentation card.
