The Last Post marked the completion of the duty officer's rounds, in which they would check sentry posts and send off-duty soldiers to retire for the night. It is now sounded at military funerals and commemorative services, including services held on Anzac Day and Remembrance Day.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003eThe tune, familiar to Australians who have heard it throughout their lives, is simple yet poignant.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003eThe coin design depicts a bugler sounding the Last Post in front of a war memorial. Parts of the musical score are shown in a radiating pattern in the top half of the design, their arrangement reminiscent of the sun setting over the horizon.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-family: -apple-system, BlinkMacSystemFont, 'San Francisco', 'Segoe UI', Roboto, 'Helvetica Neue', sans-serif; font-size: 0.875rem;\"\u003eThe 2026 $2 The Last Post ‘C’ Mintmark Coloured Uncirculated Coin is available in Australia from Direct Coins - leading authorised distributor for the Royal Australian Mint since 2012.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Royal Australian Mint","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":67831090413887,"sku":"RAM11909","price":27.5,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0810\/7527\/4047\/files\/2026-2-the-last-post-c-mintmark-coloured-uncirculated-coin-7757786.jpg?v=1792656672","url":"https:\/\/directcoins.com.au\/products\/2026-2-the-last-post-c-mintmark-coloured-uncirculated-coin","provider":"Direct Coins","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
