2 Dollars - Elizabeth II Tears of the Moon

The "Tears of the Moon" branding belongs to Perth Mint's long-running colored proof series exploiting the commercial appeal of ultra-high-purity four-nines silver — a step beyond the .999 fineness used by most sovereign mints. The 2021 release appeared during a period of sustained retail demand for Perth Mint collectibles in Asian markets, particularly China, where lunar-themed and celestially branded silver had driven a sharp uptick in subscription sales through the late 2010s.

The $2 face value is a legal denomination under Australian law, though no circulation was ever intended.
