∙ 13y ago
The Two Dollar coin was the most recent addition to Australia's circulating coinage and had to fit in with, and be distinguished from, 7 existing types of circulating coin.
Circulating coins are no longer made of precious metals, so there is no longer a need to make them to any particular size for any particular metal or denomination.
There was also a need to consider the visually impaired.
The Two Dollar coin is slightly larger than the 5 cent coin and slightly smaller than the 10 cent coin, and significantly thicker than both.

They are round and are usually about 34mm in diameter for the silver coins, or larger for the bimetal coins which may be silver/copper or silver/gold. Gold coins are usually 50mm in diameter.
They all have TEN DOLLARS or 10 DOLLARS clearly inscribed on them and the usual Queen Elizabeth II portrait on the obverse.

It was a 10 cent coin struck on a 5 cent blank (or planchet) and should never have left the Mint.
