Where it came from
The Australian two-cent coin was originally introduced in 1966 as part of the nation's transition to decimal currency. While the two-cent piece was officially withdrawn from circulation in 1992, the Royal Australian Mint continues to produce numismatic versions, including silver proof editions, for collectors and commemorative sets. The 2011 silver proof issue serves as a high-quality keepsake of this legacy denomination.
The obverse of this coin features the fourth definitive effigy of Queen Elizabeth II, designed by Ian Rank-Broadley. Introduced in 1999, the portrait was intended to present a more mature and realistic depiction of the monarch compared to its predecessor. On the reverse, the coin retains Stuart Devlin’s iconic illustration of the frilled-necked lizard, a hallmark of Australian wildlife art that has defined the two-cent piece since the inception of the decimal series.
