* KREUZ DES SÜDENS (1999-2019): AUSTRALIEN ★ 2 DOLLARS 1999!
* SOUTHERN CROSS (1999-2019): AUSTRALIA ★ 2 DOLLARS 1999!

The second type of the DECIMAL coinage with Aboriginal man at left, Southern Cross above and Grass Tree to the far right. Interesting the first year of the type in nice condition.



Interesting fact. The Australian two dollar coin was introduced on 20th June 1988 replacing the $2 note that was withdrawn from circulation. 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 2019.
