One of five coins in the Royal Australian Mint's 2018 ANZAC Spirit series, this piece falls under a broader commemorative program running from 2014 to 2018 that marked the centenary of the First World War. "Loyal" references the ethos codified in the ANZAC legend — the bonds between soldiers that Australian and New Zealand military culture has treated as a defining national characteristic since Gallipoli. The series drew criticism in some quarters for extending centenary coinage across five years, a schedule critics argued diluted the commemorative weight of individual issues.
