2020 $2 AlBr Coloured Uncirculated Coin - Tokyo Paralympics

2020 $2 Coloured Coin: Australian Paralympic Team – Lizzie the Lizard

To support the 2020 Australian Paralympic Team and mark their long journey to Japan, the Royal Australian Mint released a vibrant coloured $\$2$ coin featuring the Australian Paralympic Team mascot – Lizzie the Lizard in an appealing manga style.

The Tokyo Paralympics were originally planned for 2020 but were postponed until August 24 to September 5, 2021, due to the COVID-19 pandemic. This was the first time the Games were rescheduled rather than cancelled, as they were during the World Wars. Australia's Paralympic Team for these Games was expected to be the largest ever, exceeding the 177 athletes who competed in 2016.

This unique coin is certain to appeal to enthusiasts and collectors and is a fitting tribute to the athletes striving for gold.
