2023 marks a significant milestone in Australia’s numismatic history – the 35th anniversary of the two dollar coin, first introduced in 1988. In commemoration of this historic event, the Royal Australian Mint proudly presents the exclusive 2023 $2 14-Coin Set. This exquisite collection showcases a range of commemorative designs that have graced the reverse side of Australia’s beloved two dollar coins over the years.
The set features an uncirculated collection of fourteen distinct coins, each representing a piece of Australia’s rich cultural and historical tapestry. These coins have been carefully curated to highlight significant moments and stories from Australia’s past, making this set not just a collector’s item but a journey through the nation’s soul.
The two dollar coin, initially released into general circulation during Australia’s Bicentenary year in 1988, was introduced as a replacement for the two dollar note. Its design and size were the result of extensive considerations, including the needs of the visually impaired, security features, and a preference for a traditional coin shape. This thoughtful process underscores the coin’s significance beyond its monetary value.
Since its introduction, the two dollar coin has been a canvas for celebrating Australia’s historical and culturally important narratives. The tradition of commemorative designs began in 2012 with the release of the Remembrance Day poppy coin, and has since continued to honor various aspects of Australian life and history.
The 2023 $2 14-Coin Set is not only a testament to the enduring legacy of the two dollar coin but also an invitation to explore and appreciate the stories that have shaped Australia. This collection is a must-have for numismatists, history enthusiasts, and anyone looking to hold a piece of Australian heritage in their hands.
