Marking 200 years of Australia’s honey bee industry, this vibrant 2022 $2 coloured coin celebrates the European honey bee’s contribution to local biodiversity and honey production. Originally issued by the Royal Australian Mint in rolls of 25 wrapped in brown paper printed with 'Australian Government Royal Australian Mint', this is a single coin ex mint roll, now housed in a NextGen Collectors Coin Capsule for secure display.
Showcasing Aleksandra Stokic’s detailed reverse artwork, the design highlights the industrious honey bee with honeycomb motifs and colour elements. With only 15,000 rolls issued, individual coins from this release remain a sought-after addition to $2 collections.
