This PCGS MS66 graded 2012 Red Poppy Remembrance Day $2 Coin is great investment because of the ever increasing value of these coins.

With the distinctive paint application to this specific coin, it is unique in its own right. As the first coloured and lowest minted circulating two dollar coin to date, it is a must have edition to any Australian numismatic collection.

On the 26th of October 2012, the Royal Australian Mint announced that “In the lead-up to Remembrance Day, it is only fitting that Australia's first $2 commemorative circulating coin features the poppy flower, a symbol synonymous with this important day of reflection.

The coloured coin, of which there will be half a million, will be circulated nationally through the Returned and Services League (RSL) Red Poppy Appeal. The non-coloured poppy coin, to be produced in a minimum run of five million, will be distributed through the normal channels via banks and retail outlets over the coming months.

"Only one other country, Canada, has released coloured coins into circulation and the fact that we have added micro-lettering into the design showcases our world class innovative capabilities”, said the Mint’s Chief Executive Officer Mr Ross MacDiarmid.

Only 503'000 of these 2012 Red Poppy $2 Coins were produced.
