The perfect complement to the $2 Johnston/Fraser Last Prefix LQG, this exclusive presentation also encompasses the first date of the $2 coin series – crafted from precious metal! Struck by the Royal Australian Mint, the nation’s first $2 coin looks absolutely magnificent when crafted to Proof quality from sterling silver.
An important addition to any collection, these crucial ‘last’ and ‘first’ legal tender issues are beautifully presented within an informative, full-colour pack. A fine tribute to a crucial juncture in the history of Australian currency, this affordable presentation unites Australia's last $2 note - carrying the Last Prefix LQG! - with a Silver Proof version of the nation's first $2 coin!
Like its lower denomination $1 counterpart, the $2 note fell victim to inflation, as well as the greater durability and cost-effectiveness of a coin. First seen in 1966, the last $2 note was issued in 1988, during the Johnston/Fraser signature combination. Indicating that the note in this pack was among the last to roll off the presses, each Johnston/Fraser $2 is distinguished by the highly desirable, extremely scarce Last Prefix LQG.
