Brief Description
A green-colored banknote featuring a portrait of John Macarthur and a merino ram on the front. The reverse features William Farrer and ears of wheat.
Historical Significance
This note was part of Australia's original decimal currency series introduced in 1966. The $2 banknote was eventually phased out and replaced by the $2 coin in 1988, which was introduced for greater durability.

Approximately $4 - $10 AUD for a circulated note in this condition; uncirculated specimens or rare serial numbers can be worth significantly more.
Care Instructions
Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight to prevent fading. Use a PVC-free plastic currency sleeve to protect the paper from oils, dirt, and folding.
