2022

This commemorative coin was issued by the Royal Australian Mint in 2022 to highlight the ecological importance of honey bees and their role in pollination and food sustainability. The design features two honey bees positioned around a central honeycomb pattern, with a translucent amber-colored insert symbolizing honey. Floral elements and hexagonal motifs emphasize the natural structure of the hive and the cooperative behavior of bees. The coin combines innovative minting techniques with an environmental theme, drawing attention to biodiversity and conservation.
