2009 $1 Lest We Forget ANZAC Day Uncirculated Coin

Preserving the knowledge of our diggers’ sacrifices in war time is important to new generations of Australians, as the numbers of young people attending ANZAC Day ceremonies and travelling to Gallipoli each year testifies. Symbolising the handing down of their memories from generation to generation, the design on this $1 coin portrays a former Australian serviceman with a young child sitting on his lap.
