It’s the little-known symbol that you can find on millions of $2 coins currently circulating in Australia.

The tiny “HH” stamp can be found on 1988 and 1989 $2 coins in the bottom left-hand corner, on the lower chest of the Indigenous man featured on the tails side.

The symbol represents the initials of Horst Hahne, the Royal Australian Mint chief engraver at the time the coins were first introduced.

Coin experts have long maintained that coins with this stamp are not valuable given that around 200 million coins were minted with the “HH” symbol.

However that hasn’t stopped some collectors from seeking top dollar for these particular coins.
