Comments
This 2022 dated coloured $2 coin was issued by the RAM in a coincard with a 'C' Mintmark. (60,000 copies)
Rolls of 25 coins without a Mintmark were issued and also released into general circulation without a mintmark.
Small yet mighty is the honey bee that populates Australia, producing delicious honey and contributing to the country’s agricultural success by pollinating crops. This year marks the bicentenary of Australia’s honey bee industry, with the coin commemorating both the remarkable creatures and conscientious beekeepers. Produced by the Royal Australian Mint and the Australian Honey Bee Industry Council, the intricately-designed and delightfully bright coin celebrates the worker bee in us all.
