| Additional information |
Australia lost around 62,000 killed in the First World War — the highest per-capita death rate of any Allied nation. The centenary of the November 1918 Armistice prompted a wave of commemorative issues across Commonwealth mints, and the Royal Australian Mint produced this dollar for general circulation rather than as a collector-only release, a deliberate choice ensuring the coin would pass through ordinary hands. The ANZAC centenary program had already run for several years by this point, beginning with Gallipoli in 2015.
