John McCrae wrote "In Flanders Fields" in May 1915 while serving as a medical officer at Ypres, reportedly composing it the morning after presiding over the burial of a close friend. The poem was published anonymously in Punch that December and became one of the most widely reprinted pieces of the entire war. Its opening image directly inspired the adoption of the poppy as a symbol of remembrance across Commonwealth nations.
The "6th Portrait" designation reflects a 2019 update to the Jody Clark effigy, modified specifically for Australian coinage to meet RAM specifications.
