A stunning synthesis of history, quality and value – as well as ALL-NEW presentation! – we are proud to present the Australia $2 Last Note & First Coin Uncirculated Pack.

Driven from use by inflation, and by the obvious contrast in cost efficiency when compared with a possible $2 coin, Australia’s $2 banknote was consigned to the pages of history in the 1980s. Unlike our current polymer notes, the last $2 was printed on paper. This key Australian banknote was issued from 1985, and carried facsimiles of the signatures of Bob Johnston, Governor of the Reserve Bank of Australia, and Secretary to the Treasury, Bernie Fraser.

The $2 coin that replaced the note was crafted from aluminium-bronze, and was rightly considered a more durable, more economical alternative. Recognising Australia’s indigenous heritage, and depicting an aboriginal elder beneath the Southern Cross, the first $2 was designed by Horst Hahne, and struck by the Royal Australian Mint in 1988 – the year that marked the bicentenary of European settlement.

Creating the perfect partnership, the Last Note, First Coin $2 Pack unites premium grade examples of both of these key Australian legal tender types. Offered in strictly Uncirculated quality, the 1985 $2 Johnston/Fraser Banknote and the 1988 $2 Coin are set behind archival bubble, and beautifully presented within an ALL-NEW illustrated, informative pack!

An impressive keepsake of a crucial juncture in Australia’s currency history, the Last Note, First Coin $2 Pack is also available at a price to please all pockets. Whether for your own collection or as a great gift, secure your set today.
