2014 $5 Lest We Forget Silver Proof Triangular Shaped Coin

After the First World War, returned soldiers sought the comradeship they had felt in those quiet, peaceful moments before dawn. Dawn vigils recalled the wartime front line practice of the dawn ‘stand-to’. These became the basis of many commemorations after the War. This coin captures beautiful iconic richness: the sun to symbolise Lawrence Binyon’s For the Fallen, and the symbolic ‘Lest We Forget’ poppies.
