5 DOLLARS
Description:
The Australia “Remember the Fallen” tribute dedicated to honoring the soldiers who gave their lives in service. Struck in fine silver with proof-like quality and unusual triangular shape attracts attention, while its reverse with the notable theme of Lest We Forget and the forever symbolic dawn scene. "At the going down of the sun and in the morning, We will remember them." These stirring words from the iconic poem For the Fallen, by Robert Laurence Binyon, are emblazoned across the coin reverse, which depicts a peaceful dawn over silent Fields of Flanders poppies. These flowers have long been the international symbol of the 11 November 1918 armistice; and later a token of remembrance for those who have died in conflict since the Great War. The face value "5 DOLLARS" is inscribed close to the bottom rim.
