The Invictus Games were founded by Prince Harry in 2014, modeled on the American Warrior Games, as a competition specifically for wounded, injured, and sick armed forces personnel and veterans. Sydney hosted the fourth iteration in 2018 — the first time the Games came to the Southern Hemisphere — drawing over 500 competitors from 18 nations. The Royal Australian Mint issued this circulating commemorative to coincide with that event, one of several $2 pieces released that year targeting collector circulation.
The aluminium bronze alloy is identical to standard Australian $2 coinage, meaning these moved freely through general circulation rather than being segregated as collector-only pieces.
