The Australian $2 coin representing triumph over adversity…

HRH Prince Harry launched the very first Invictus Games at Queen Elizabeth Olympic Park, London in 2014, showcasing the incredible power of sport to inspire recovery and rehabilitation, and increase respect for those who have served their country.

The Games have installed a real sense of belonging for all, and as the international adaptive multi-sport event makes its way ‘down under’ to Sydney, Australia,  something extra special will be happening this year for the Invictus Games to mark the fourth year running.

Because to commemorate this special event, The Royal Australian Mint have released a limited quantity of commemorative $2 AUD coins into circulation in Australia.

2018 Invictus Games $2 AUS

This $2 coin features a competitor in a wheelchair, with the words “Invictus Games” on the reverse. Taken from the Latin word for ‘unconquered’, ‘Invictus’ captures the spirit of the games and the competitors who won’t be defined by their injuries or disabilities.

2.3 million of these coins have been released over the past few months, meaning that they should be in the pockets of Australian change collectors by the time the games take place in October.

Invictus Games Sydney 2018 Chief Executive Officer Patrick Kidd OBE says:

“These coins are a fitting tribute to the men and women who serve and have served in our Defence forces and their families. The picture on the coin celebrates the unconquered spirit that this community displays each and every day and that you will all witness when these Games come to Sydney in October.”

Over 500 competitors from 18 nations will compete in 11 different sports during the Games, including:

  • Archery
  • Athletics
  • Indoor Rowing
  • Jaguar Land Rover Driving Challenge
  • Powerlifting
  • Road Cycling
  • Sailing
  • Sitting Volleyball
  • Swimming
  • Wheelchair Basketball
  • Wheelchair Rugby

Will any of you change checkers be heading ‘down under’ to watch the Games this October? Or if you have any Aussie friends, make sure they keep an eye out for the coin in their change!


Secure your Invictus Games $2!

We’ve managed to get hold of 125 coins for UK collectors so you can now own this fantastic $2 coin from Australia, representing triumph over adversity.
