2020 $2 Coin - Australia's Firefighters - 'C' Mintmark Uncirculated Coin

2020 $2 'C' Mintmark Coloured Uncirculated Coin: Australia's Firefighters

Twelve months on from the devastating bushfires that swept the country, the Royal Australian Mint presents this 2020 $2 'C' Mintmark Coloured Uncirculated Coin-in-Card as a poignant reminder of the bravery and sacrifice of Australia’s firefighters. From our career 'fireys' in the city, to the thousands of volunteers in the towns and bush, this coin commemorates and honours their dedication and commitment to protecting all Australians.

Australia is a continent shaped by fire. Ancient ecosystems have evolved needing fire to regenerate and renew, while many Indigenous nations have used fire to manage and maintain the land for millennia. This coin serves as a lasting tribute to the commitment of our 170,000-plus firefighters.
