| Additional information |
Australia's $2 coin has carried an Indigenous elder portrait since the denomination's introduction in 1988, making it one of the few circulating coins anywhere to have consistently featured an Aboriginal Australian from its very first issue. This 2024 iteration is among the earliest to bear Charles III's effigy, following the accession portrait rollout that began reaching Commonwealth mints after 2023 — a routine but administratively significant transition that required new obverse dies across the entire circulating range.
