The Perth Mint Preparing for Peace 2026 Stamp and Coin Cover

Hold a piece of history in your hands. The Preparing for Peace 2026 Stamp and Coin Cover is a deeply moving tribute to the courage, sacrifice, and enduring legacy of the original ANZACs and all Australian and New Zealand Defence Force personnel who have served in times of war and peacekeeping operations.

Released in honour of Anzac Day by The Perth Mint and Australia Post, this collectible is a powerful reminder that peace is never taken for granted — it is earned, protected, and remembered.

The Design

The coin's reverse bears a striking composition: a slouch hat and red poppies — two of the most enduring symbols of the Australian Army and remembrance — framed by an eternal flame motif. The inscriptions "25 APRIL" and "LEST WE FORGET" are etched alongside the 2026 year-date and The Perth Mint's iconic 'P' mintmark.

The themed envelope features two official Australia Post stamps, postmarked for the first day of issue and accompanied by Australia Post's Seal of Authenticity — a mark of provenance that makes this set as meaningful as it is collectible.

A Meaningful Keepsake

Whether displayed in a collection, gifted to a veteran, or passed down through generations, this Stamp & Coin Cover carries a weight that goes beyond its specifications. With a strictly limited PNC issue of just 250, this is one of the most exclusive releases in the 2026 Perth Mint calendar — once they're gone, they're gone.
