Mint
Royal Australian Mint, Canberra, Australia (1965-date)Comments
The Australian two dollar coin was introduced on 20th June 1988 replacing the $2 note that was withdrawn from circulation. This last $2 Note & First $2 Coin Set was a private issue that celebrated the withdrawal and introduction of the paper note and the metal coin.
As with the one dollar paper note, the $2 note had a short service life and replacement with a coin was very cost effective. The Australian 2 dollar coin standard design is that of an Aboriginal elder and was the only design used until 2012 when the Mint began a run of commemorative $2 coins, some with colour printing. The designers initials (HH) only appeared on the 1988 & 1989 Coins. See below.
This coin with the Makleouf 3rd Portrait was re-issued dated 2018 in this 30th Anniversary of the Two Dollar Coin (1988-2018) Set:
