Description
Australia: $2 First and Last Limited Edition Pack
- Unites Australia’s last $2 banknote and first $2 coin!
- Australia’s last $2 banknote was issued 1985-88, and features the Johnston/Fraser signature combination.
- Australia’s first $2 coin was struck by the Royal Australian Mint in 1988.
- Both of these key issues are offered in strictly Uncirculated condition.
- An outstanding presentation, the last $2 note and first $2 coin are set in an illustrated, informative pack.
Driven from use by inflation, and by the obvious contrast in cost efficiency when compared with a possible $2 coin, the $2 note was consigned to history in 1985. It was last issued during the Johnston/Fraser signature combination. The $2 coin that replaced it was crafted from aluminium-bronze, and was rightly thought to be a more durable, more economical alternative to the paper note.
