2017 $2 Lest We Forget

[Hercules]

RAM is over doing the Anzac theme and coloured $2 I reckon

Anzac coins and coloured $2 coins are very popular with collectors, so putting the two of them together is very profitable for the mint. As long as the demand is there, they'll keep making them. :ok:

Well it is 100 years since 1914-1918. So one a year is OK. I like them.

These coins are also available thru Australia Post as a PNC

Is there a link to that PNC? ... I searched Aus Post stamps & collectibles and couldn't find anything?

Thanks for the link .. Once you get to have a look at the pdf on page 24 the image of the coin has been removed unfortunately.

Cheers Mike

The image is not there because of the embargo on the design.

The Stamp Bulletin was published in March.

Is this going into circulation? I don't recall reading one way or the other anywhere but I'm not sure where it was announced.

It is a "C" mintmark coin and unless there is a No mintmark coin I doubt that this will be a circulation issue.

[kchan1111]

The previous ones went into circulations right? There were mint rolls. I imagine these are the same no? They sold c mintmark coins in presentation packaging as well last year.

Looks nice. Although I have to say it's a rather loose symbolic representation of the actual dome in AWM.

Straight from the mint's website:

As Australia pauses to remember those who have served, this coin celebrates one of Australia's most solemn sites of reflection. Featuring Napier Waller's breathtaking mosaic from inside the dome of the Australian War Memorial's Hall of Memory, this coin is ideal for collectors, history buffs, military enthusiasts, and families of service people. Complete with a 'C' for Canberra mintmark, this is a special collector version of this year's Lest we forget coloured circulating coin.

Doesn't that imply there will also be a coloured $2 coin for circulation :huh:

[Hercules]

Yes!!! :yahoo:

[runway]

5000 rolls will be allocated to dealers so I'm guessing they will be circulated

I have just got off the phone to Downies and I have ordered two of the coloured non mint mark Lest We Forget coins at $10.00 eack.

Looks like it will be coming out into circulation.
