Celebrate Australia’s war animals and their unbreakable bond with our troops through this poignant new release from the Royal Australian Mint. Struck to circulating standard, the reverse design is centred on a purple poppy — symbolising the sacrifice of animals in times of war — and is encircled by depictions of Australia’s most faithful companions, from donkeys and homing pigeons to horses and beyond. On the obverse, you’ll find Daniel Thorne’s effigy of King Charles III, affirming its status as Australian legal tender. Finished in Mint‑branded paper with a secure seal, this coin stands as a lasting tribute to the vital role these animals have played in our nation’s military history.
