$2 2026 The Last Post UNC

PLEASE NOTE: This product will be available to order from 8:30am AEDT on Tuesday, 10 November 2026.

Few traditions hold the same emotional weight as the Last Post. Originally performed to signal the end of a soldier’s day, the familiar bugle call has become a defining element of military funerals and remembrance ceremonies across Australia.

The 2026 $2 The Last Post coin depicts a bugler sounding the Last Post before a war memorial at sundown. Musical staves and bars radiate across the design like sound waves, their arrangement also reminiscent of the setting sun dipping below the horizon. Musical rests incorporated into the design symbolise the period of silence that follows the Last Post and its association with fallen service personnel having gone to their final rest.

Dusky oranges and deep purples feature in the central colour print, evoking the hues of twilight, while the inscriptions ‘The Last Post’ and ‘Remembrance’ follow the curve of the coin.

Struck by the Royal Australian Mint, this coin follows the Dawn Service $2 program issued in April 2026, with both releases honouring remembrance traditions deeply ingrained within the Australian consciousness.
