RAM bag of 5 @ $90
The 2018 $2 "100 Years of Armistice" coin is special because it is a low-mintage, coloured, commemorative circulating coin featuring a vibrant red poppy, representing the centennial of the WWI armistice.
It is highly sought after due to its striking design, relatively low mintage of roughly 2 million, and its role as a key piece in Australian commemorative decimal history.
Key Features of the 2018 Armistice $2 Coin:
Design: Developed with the Australian War Memorial, it features a central red poppy, with the number "100" and the text "Lest We Forget". The design is inspired by the Eternal Flame.
Symbolism: It marks 100 years since the end of WWI (11 November 1918), featuring the 11.11 symbol (11th hour, 11th day, 11th month).
Coloured Element: It was one of the early colored circulating $2 coins released by the Royal Australian Mint.
Rarity & Mintage: The remediated, final circulating mintage is approximately 2,058,000, making it relatively rare compared to standard $2 coins.
This coin is considered a key addition for collectors, especially in uncirculated condition from original mint bags.
