UNC 2023 $2 Vegemite Yellow RARE Coloured two dollar Coin mint bag Queen New

Embark on a flavorful journey with the Royal Australian Mint's commemorative Vegemite Centenary Coin Series, a delightful three-part collection marking the iconic spread's century-long legacy.

Crafted from leftover brewers' yeast extract with an infusion of diverse vegetable and spice additives, Vegemite emerged from the inventive mind of Cyril Callister in Melbourne, Victoria, in 1922. As a versatile spread for sandwiches, toast, crumpets, cracker biscuits, and a delectable filling for pastries, Vegemite shares its essence with international counterparts like British Marmite, New Zealand Marmite, Australian Promite, and others. Renowned for its bold and distinctive flavor profile, Vegemite boasts salty, slightly bitter, malty, and umami notes akin to beef bouillon, thanks to its richness in glutamates. Beyond its taste, Vegemite proudly holds the status of being vegan, kosher, and halal, while standing out for its high B vitamin content.

Released as part of a unique "corporate program" partnership with Woolworths Supermarkets, these coins found their way into the hands of eager collectors through everyday transactions. The three coins in this series were strategically issued one week apart, contributing to the excitement surrounding their release.

While the official release date for the yellow $2 Vegemite Centenary coins was announced as 17 May 2023, enthusiasts were in for an early treat as these coins made their surprise appearance in circulation a week prior. Notably, the coins bear a "memorial" obverse, featuring the effigy of Queen Elizabeth II and the dates of her reign (1952 - 2022). This design choice acknowledges the ongoing reign of King Charles III, anticipating the approval of his effigy for use in Australia later in the year.

Collectors and Vegemite enthusiasts alike will cherish these coins not only for their numismatic value but also for the flavorful tale they tell about a spread that has become an indelible part of Australian culture over the past century.

At the heart of this commemorative coin is a vibrant depiction of an iconic jar of Vegemite, capturing the essence of a beloved Australian culinary tradition. The design pays homage to a flavorful journey, with the years 1923 and 2023 elegantly positioned on the left and right sides, respectively, symbolizing a remarkable century of Vegemite's presence in Australian culture.

Surrounding the central imagery is a dynamic yellow line adorned with multiple letter Vs, creating a lively visual frame that celebrates the unique and enduring appeal of Vegemite. The inscription "VEGEMITE CENTENARY" gracefully encircles the upper rim, marking a significant milestone in the brand's rich history.

Completing the design, the phrase "100 MITEY YEARS" is displayed below, encapsulating a century of shared moments, culture, and the enduring love Australians have for this iconic spread.

Please Note:
Due to an issue with the colour print on these coins, many of them are already demonstrating moderate to major flaking of the coloured ring on the reverse of the coin straight from the bags. This issue is consistent across the entire release.
