Image 1 with the coins in front of the cards have had their sizes enhanced to better show the characteristics of the coin.
2020 Australia’s Firefighters $2 Coloured “C” Mintmark Uncirculated Coin-in-Card
Twelve months on from the devastating bush fires 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.
It is not surprising then that Australia’s 170,000 plus firefighters are revered for their bravery and dedication. From the cities to the outback, they protect us from danger and are always prepared to step up when needed. The Aussie ‘firey’ epitomizes our deals of mateship, bravery and support.

2020 Australia’s Firefighters $2 Coloured Circulating Coin-in-Card

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.
While charting the east coast of Australia in 1770 Captain James Cook viewed bush fires inland almost daily, describing the land as ‘This smoking continent’.
It is not surprising then that Australia’s 170,000 plus firefighters are revered for their bravery and dedication. From the cities to the outback, they protect us from danger and are always prepared to step up when needed. The Aussie ‘firey’ epitomizes our deals of mateship, bravery and support.
The Royal Australian Mint has created this 2020 $2 Coloured Circulating Coin-in-Card to commemorate our fearless firefighters and to honour those that have given their lives in protecting our communities.
