Aluminium Bronze Coin Perth Mint: Anzac Day $1 2026

The Perth Mint aluminium-bronze coin: Anzac Day $1 2026 is a commemorative issue honouring one of the most important days of remembrance in Australia and New Zealand. Anzac Day, observed on 25 April, marks the landing of Australian and New Zealand Army Corps soldiers on the Gallipoli Peninsula in 1915 during World War I. Since 1916, the day has been dedicated to commemorating the courage and sacrifice of all service members who have served in the armed forces of both nations.

The coin is struck in aluminium bronze and has a denomination of 1 Australian dollar. It measures 30.7 mm in diameter and weighs approximately 13.5 g. The issue was produced by The Perth Mint in uncirculated condition. The mintage is unlimited. The coin is offered in a dedicated collector card with a window showcasing both sides of the coin.

The design theme references symbols of remembrance for fallen soldiers. The red poppy holds particular significance—the flower that grew on the battlefields of World War I and over time became an international symbol of remembrance for the victims of armed conflicts.

Obverse features a portrait of King Charles III by Dan Thorne, together with the coin’s face value.

Reverse by Wade Robinson depicts the distinctive Australian military slouch hat and red poppies—symbols of remembrance for fallen soldiers. The design is complemented by a torch with an eternal flame, the inscriptions "25 APRIL" and "LEST WE FORGET", the year of issue, and the "P" mintmark.
