| Beschrijving keerzijde | The central device depicts a Frill-necked Lizard (Chlamydosaurus kingii), commonly known as the Frilled Dragon, shown in a naturalistic pose with its distinctive neck frill displayed. The species is endemic to northern Australia and southern New Guinea, and its selection reflects Australia's unique fauna series introduced with decimal coinage. The denomination 2 CENTS appears in the field, and the overall design is executed in a detailed, zoological illustrative style. The reverse field is otherwise plain, drawing full attention to the naturalistic rendering of the reptile. |

| Aanvullende informatie |
Australia's 2-cent coin was discontinued in 1992 when the Royal Australian Mint ceased production of both 1- and 2-cent denominations following a government review that concluded the coins cost more to produce than their face value. The final years of issue, covered by this third-portrait series, saw mintages drop sharply as the writing was already on the wall. Surviving uncirculated examples from the late run are more common in collector sets than in change-worn grades, simply because few people spent them once hoarding began.
