Vivid red poppies rise across a dark field, their slender stems framing the words “11 November Remembrance Day”. The date recalls the 1918 Armistice that ended fighting on the Western Front in World War I, while the poppies carry the enduring symbolism of Flanders’ battlefields. The 50mm format gives the flowers and commemorative lettering room to stand out in a tribute to service and sacrifice. King Charles III appears on the obverse of this 2027 Solomon Islands 50-cent coin.

The Poppies & Peace Luxe Edition combines a Proof-Like finish with a substantial 46g format and an edition limit of 2,027. Its black presentation box and matching poppy artwork continue the remembrance theme, making the coin a considered display piece rather than an everyday keepsake. Honour remembrance through the detail of Poppies & Peace at FORTYMILLION.

Q. Why is Remembrance Day observed on 11 November?
A. It marks the anniversary of the 1918 Armistice that ended fighting on the Western Front in World War I. In Australia, a minute’s silence at 11am honours those who died or suffered in wars, conflicts and peace operations.

Q. What are the key Remembrance Day observances and traditions in Australia?
A. Australians observe one minute’s silence at 11am on 11 November to pause and remember the fallen. Commemorative services take place at the Australian War Memorial in Canberra, local war memorials and RSL sub-branches. Red poppies are worn as a symbol of remembrance.

Q. Why are red poppies a symbol of remembrance?

Q. What is the Australian flag protocol for Remembrance Day?
A. The Australian National Flag is flown at the peak from 8am, lowered to half-mast at 10.30am, then raised to the peak again at 11.02am for the remainder of the usual flag-flying day. Times are local.
Read the Australian Government’s Remembrance Day flag protocol.

Q. Is this a solid gold coin?
A. No. The base metal is iron. The Koin Club specifies 24-carat gold plating, which is a surface layer, not solid gold construction.

Q. What does Proof-Like mean?
A. Proof-Like describes a finish with reflective, mirror-like fields, the background areas around the design. It is not the same as a Proof issue. Here, it is the supplier’s stated finish, not an independently certified PL designation.
Read PCGS’s explanation of Proof and Prooflike coins.

Q. Why does the coin look dark if gold plating is specified?
A. The photographs show a dark background with red poppies. The Koin Club lists 24-carat gold plating, but does not explain the dark appearance in its published specification.

Q. How many are in this edition?
A. The stated edition limit is 2,027. This is the edition size, not the coin’s year of issue, which is also 2027.

Q. Is a presentation box included?
A. Yes. The coin is presented in a black display box with matching Remembrance Day poppy artwork.
