Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the 2002 Elizabeth II (4th Portrait; Mule) 2 Dollars coin from New Zealand and the United Kingdom is that it features a unique "mule" design, where the obverse (front) of the coin features the 4th portrait of Queen Elizabeth II, while the reverse (back) features the standard design of a kiwi bird, which is native to New Zealand. This combination of designs makes the coin a rare and collectible item among numismatists.
