2026 $2 The Last Post 'C' Mintmark Coloured Uncirculated Coin

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 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.
