The Last Post 2026 $2 ‘C’ Mintmark Coloured Uncirculated Coin

The Coin Company is proud to present The Last Post 2026 $2 ‘C’ Mintmark Coloured Uncirculated Coin by the Royal Australian Mint.

Ahead of Remembrance Day, the Royal Australian Mint presents a new coloured $2 coin to commemorate a fixture of war remembrance in Australia: the Last Post. This follows the Mint's coloured $2 release in April 2026, which depicted the Dawn Service tradition that is so inextricably linked with Anzac Day.                                                      

In military tradition, bugle calls such as the Last Post were played to signal different events and times of day. The Last Post marked the completion of the duty officer's rounds, in which they would check sentry posts and send off-duty soldiers to retire for the night. It is now sounded at military funerals and commemorative services, including services held on Anzac Day and Remembrance Day.                                                                                       

The tune, familiar to Australians who have heard it throughout their lives, is simple yet poignant.                           

The coin design depicts a bugler sounding the Last Post in front of a war memorial. Parts of the musical score are shown in a radiating pattern in the top half of the design, their arrangement reminiscent of the sun setting over the horizon.
