2016 $2 CHANGEOVER QUEEN'S HEAD CROWN AUSTRALIAN TWO DOLLAR COIN RARE CIRC
In celebration of the 50th anniversary of Australian decimal
currency, a special series was released, commemorating the earlier pre-decimal
currency. This unique collection incorporated modern circulating designs with
depictions of Australia's pre-decimal coins on the obverse.
The evolution of Australian currency reflects the nation's
historical progression. In the early 1800s, European settlers improvised a
monetary system with international coins, promissory notes, and the notorious
rum trade. The first coins "minted" in Australia emerged from
modifying a Spanish dollar, creating the iconic Holey Dollar and Dump.
The mid-19th Century gold rush led to the production of unofficial
tokens and ingots until the Sydney Mint opened in 1855, issuing sovereigns
similar to their British counterparts. The influence of English currency
persisted, and in 1910, Australia adopted the British pounds, shillings, and
pence as its national currency.
On February 14, 1966, the switch to decimal currency marked a
transformative moment for Australia, aligning with a global currency trend. The
unique images on the decimal coins, still cherished today, reflect Australia's
national identity on their 50th anniversary.
As a tribute to Australia's coin history, the Changeover series
features depictions of coin designs from years past. The two-dollar coin in
this series showcases a Crown design, originally issued in Australia only in
1937 and 1938. Notably, the commemorative design is placed on the obverse,
while the reverse maintains the traditional Aboriginal Elder design.
