2012 Australian $2 Red Poppy Remembrance Day – PCGS MS65

One of the most iconic and sought-after coins of Australia’s modern decimal series.

Released by the Royal Australian Mint in 2012 to commemorate Remembrance Day, this historic $2 coin features the distinctive red poppy at the centre of the reverse design, surrounded by the words Remembrance Day.

The 2012 Red Poppy holds an important place in Australian numismatics as the first coloured circulating $2 commemorative coin issued by the Royal Australian Mint, beginning what has since become one of Australia’s most popular modern collecting series.

Only 500,000 coloured circulation coins were produced, making the original 2012 Red Poppy one of the key dates for Australian coloured $2 collectors.

This example has been professionally authenticated and graded by PCGS as MS65 (Mint State 65) and is securely encapsulated in a genuine PCGS holder.
