Where it came from
The 2006 Australian 2-cent gold proof coin was issued by the Royal Australian Mint as part of the farewell commemorative set for the 2-cent denomination. Although the 2-cent coin was officially withdrawn from circulation in 1992 following the demonetization of the 1- and 2-cent pieces, the mint produced this specialized gold proof version to honor the history of the coin for collectors, marking the end of its legacy in the Australian decimal currency series.
The coin features the fourth effigy of Queen Elizabeth II, designed by Ian Rank-Broadley, which was introduced in 1999 to replace the Raphael Maklouf portrait. The reverse retains the iconic frill-necked lizard design originally created by Stuart Devlin for the introduction of decimal currency in 1966. These proof issues were struck to a high standard for numismatic audiences, serving as a nostalgic tribute to the early days of Australia's decimal system.
