Royal Australian Mint, Canberra, Australia (1965-date)Comments
2023 heralds 35 years since the introduction of Australia’s two dollar coin in 1988. To mark the occasion, the Royal Australian Mint has produced a stunning fourteen-coin collection featuring a selection of commemorative coloured and uncoloured designs that have appeared on the reverse of Australia’s circulating two dollar coins. This uncirculated collection celebrates our nation’s numismatic history.
Replacing the two dollar note due to its short circulatory lifespan, the size and format of the two dollar coin was determined after considering the needs of the visually impaired community, security requirements, and a desire to avoid shaped coins, amongst many other considerations.
Since its introduction, the designs that have appeared on Australia’s circulating two dollar coins have honoured many historical and culturally important Australian stories. The first of many commemorative circulating two dollar designs was released in 2012 with the striking Remembrance Day poppy coin.
All coins in the Fourteen-coin collection feature the unique Memorial Obverse of Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II designed by Jody Clark.
The Fourteen-coin collection is presented in a beautiful collection folder and presentation sleeve.
This particular coin in the set is a re-issue of the Remembrance - Firefighters coloured commemorative $2 Coin issued by the Royal Australian Mint in 2020. It commemorates This coin commemorates and honors our fireys and their dedication and commitment to protecting us all.
