The coin was unveiled at The Australian War Memorial’s Sculpture Garden on Tuesday at the display of 62,000 hand-crafted poppies.
Director of the Australian War Memorial Doctor Brendan Nelson says the coin will “serve as a tangible and visible reminder to all Australians… of the fight for our nation’s freedom”.
