The 2025 $2 Poppy Wreath 80 Years On Silver Coloured Proof Coin from the Royal Australian Mint is a heartfelt tribute to the 80th anniversary of World War II's end, honouring the sacrifices of over one million Australians who served from 1939 to 1945. Struck in .999 fine silver with striking colour on the reverse, the design by Bronwyn Banks showcases a symbolic wreath of Flanders poppies—emblems of remembrance—woven with native blooms, evoking the global conflict's devastation and the armistice on 2 September 1945 following Japan's surrender. This coin captures the era's legacy, from the Nazi invasion of Poland to the Pacific theatre's fierce battles, serving as a poignant reminder of peace's hard-won cost.

Housed in a sophisticated grey box with protective capsule and certificate, this limited-edition release (mintage 10,000) launches on 6 November 2025, available until 30 October 2026. The obverse bears King Charles III's refined portrait, affirming its legal tender status. Perfect for veterans' families, WWII historians, or silver proof aficionados, this coin blends artistry with solemn reflection on a war that reshaped the world.
