During the recent pandemic, a new type of Australian hero emerged! Their bravery and professionalism ensured that we were safe, secure and looked after. These heroes are Australia's frontline workers. The Royal Australian Mint proudly acknowledges the effort and skills of our frontline workers with this 2022 Uncirculated Six Coin Set

When the first confirmed case of the virus was identified in Australia on 25 January 2020, none of us could comprehend the world changing events that were about to unfold and envelop the planet. As borders closed and mandatory quarantining was introduced, groups of professionals pulled up their sleeves and got to work.

While the rest of us were told to stay at home and isolate, they did their job to ensure we were all safe, protected, informed, fed and supported. These heroes are our frontline workers, and they have redefined the Australian spirit. The Royal Australian Mint acknowledges our frontline workers with this 2022 Uncirculated Six Coin set.

The set features a specially designed coloured two dollar coin showing twelve frontline worker pictograms encircling a connected pattern representing all Australians and the effigy of HRH Queen Elizabeth II.
