The 2014 Remembrance Day $2 coloured uncirculated coin was released to commemorate Remembrance Day and the loss of Australian lives in all wars and conflicts. It featured a centrally-sculpted design of a dove carrying an olive branch, both symbols of peace, and was inspired by the Australian Commonwealth Military Forces' "Rising Sun" badge. The Royal Australian Mint also stated that the coin was a way to introduce their ANZAC coin program, which would feature both circulating and collectible coins.


Purpose:

The coin was designed to commemorate Remembrance Day, a day when Australians remember the Australian soldiers who have lost their lives in all wars and conflicts.


Design:

The central design features a dove in flight carrying an olive branch, representing peace. The design also incorporates elements of the Australian Commonwealth Military Forces' "Rising Sun" badge.


Symbolism:

The dove and olive branch are widely recognized symbols of peace, while the "Rising Sun" badge was a traditional symbol of the Australian armed forces.


Context:

The Royal Australian Mint chose Remembrance Day as the theme for the first ever commemorative $2 coin, as the theme was deemed relevant for all Australians.


ANZAC Coin Program:

The coin was also an introduction to the Mint's ANZAC coin program, which would feature a range of themes on both circulating and collectible coins.
