Two Dollars 2020 Firefighters (Orange), Coin from Australia - detailed information

The obverse of the coin depicts the crowned old bust of Queen Elizabeth II facing right, wearing the Royal Diamond Diadem crown worn for her Coronation (effigy known as the "Fifth Portrait" worldwide but "Sixth Portrait" in Australia, where the Queen's portrait by Vladimir Gottwald was fifth).

The Queen also wears the Coronation Necklace; originally made for Queen Victoria in 1858, it was also worn at the coronations (as Queen's Consort) of Queen Alexandra in 1902, Queen Mary in 1911 and Queen Elizabeth (the Queen mother) in 1937.

Unlike on British coinage, the effigy is "uncouped" (includes the Queen's shoulders). In small letters on the left, the artist's initials JC (for Jody Clark).

Running continuously around the rim is the monarch's legend, the date of issue and the face value: ELIZABETH II · AUSTRALIA 2020 · 2 DOLLARS ·.

At its centre, the coin depicts two firefighters extinguishing a fire - a female on the left and a male on the right. Overlaid on the figures, an orange flame in a small circle.

Around below, the inscription FIREFIGHTERS.

The designer's initials AS (for Aleksandra Stokic) are on the right.

The value and denomination are on the obverse.

There is a blue blister card edition which is NOT produced by the Royal Australian Mint (the coins are re-packaged in it by a company called DCPL).
