Notes:

This reverse-frosted specimen coin was not issued individually. It was included in 20,000 2-coin Australian Landmarks - Coins of the Victorian Capital sets distributed by the Canberra Mint.
Featured on the reverse of this coin is the evocative image of one of Melbourne's most well-known landmarks, the Melbourne Cricket Ground, or the M.C.G. as it is more commonly known. From the grandeur and excitement of the 1956 Olympic Games, to international cricket matches and the fervour of the Australian Football League, the stadium has become a regular focal point of Australia's, and the world's, attention.
