2014 Australia $5 ANZAC Day LEST WE FORGET Triangular PROOF Silver Coin.
DESCRIPTION
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.
With exceptional design and craftsmanship, intricate engraving and frosting, this coin captures beautiful iconic richness: the sun to symbolize Lawrence Binyon's FOR THE FALLEN, and the symbolic "LEST WE FORGET" poppies. Each delicate detail of the dawn scene has been captured on this fine silver triangular-shaped proof coin.
each coin has an individually numbered certificate and is nicely displayed in a Royal Australian case and cardboard box.
