2 Dollars In the name of Elizabeth II, 6th Portrait - Lest We Forget - Eternal Flame

Australia's "Lest We Forget" commemorative $2 issues have become a recurring program at the RAM, each year cycling through different designs tied to the ANZAC commemorative calendar. The Eternal Flame motif references the flame at the Australian War Memorial in Canberra, lit in 1998 during the Unknown Australian Soldier's interment. This piece also carries the sixth and final portrait of Elizabeth II, making it one of the last Australian coins issued under her effigy before the transition to Charles III following her death in September 2022.
