What is the difference between the Australian 1966 proof sets where each either states 'Commonwealth of Australia' or 'Royal Australian Mint'?
With both the 1966 Australian "Proof" and "Mint" sets, sets labelled "Commonwealth of Australia" include 5, 10 and 20 cent coins minted at the Royal Mint London. With sets labelled "Royal Australian Mint", all coins were minted at the Royal Australian Mint Canberra.
How do you distinguish where an Australian 2 cent coin was minted?
Australian 2 cent coins minted from 1984 onwards were all minted at the Royal Australian Mint Canberra and have no mintmark. From 1966 to 1968, the mintmarks are minor variations to the claws on the Frilled Neck Lizard (or Dragon). Canberra Mint - All claws are sharp. Melbourne Mint - Blunted third claw on left foot. Perth Mint - Blunted first claw on right foot. From 1969 to 1983, there is no way of telling, although they were minted at either Canberra or Perth Mints, the Melbourne Mint having closed in 1968. Packaged sets of mint uncirculated coins may have it written somewhere on the packaging. In 1981, approximately 71 million 2 cent coins were minted at the Royal Mint Wales. These can be identified by looking at the obverse. The legend will be closer to the rim of the coin than coins minted at either the Canberra or Perth Mints.
Is there an Australian 2 cent coin with an extra toe on the lizard?
Yes and no. The toes or the absence of them on the Frill Necked lizard are the mintmarks on the Australian 2 cent coin, and this little variation would only appear on 2 cent coins minted from 1966 to 1968. Coins minted at the Canberra Mint show all claws sharp. Coins minted at the Melbourne Mint show a blunted third claw on the left foot. Coins minted at the Perth Mint show a blunted first claw on the right foot.
