$2 Coin with HH on Aboriginal Portrait

Take a closer look at the 2 dollar coin in your pocket, purse or wallet, does it have a tiny HH on the torso of the Aboriginal in the picture? Have you found a $2 with a small HH stamped onto the coin and think it’s got to be worth a lot of money? Have you found a rare coin?

You sure have, and they are rare and worth a tidy sum!

Now there’s no need to jump on Facebook to ask about the HH, and now you’re here there’s no need to ask Google- here’s the answer.

Back in 1988 when the first $2 coins appeared, a local entrepreneur sought to mark the transition from a 2 dollar note to a 2 dollar coin by adding his mark to the coins. Horatio Hornblower, of H & H Engineering Co counterstamped the new coins as they came though his factory out the back of Bourke in northern New South Wales.

$2 Coin
Today history is being made! The National Collector's Mint and the Cooks Islands announce a limited release of the new Pure Silver 2021 Silver Double Eagle $2 Coin.
As the 37th Treasurer of the United States, Angela 'Bay' Buchanan was instrumental in supporting the creation of the United States Silver Eagle bullion coin program. The Silver Eagle Dollar is the largest, heaviest, purest silver dollar ever minted by the U.S. Government. And it's minted from .999 pure silver. Since its introduction, it's become one of the most beloved and collected U.S. Coins.
But as successful as that coin proved to be, Treasurer Buchanan had a personal vision of another coin -- a Silver Double Eagle $2 Coin! Now, that vision is being realized.
Today, you have the opportunity to acquire the magnificent, new 2021 Silver Double Eagle $2 Coin.

Coin Inspired and endorsed by Treasurer Buchanan, this 39 mm non-circulating legal tender Cook Islands issue is struck in .5 troy ounces of Pure Silver -- .999 Pure Silver, just like the Silver Eagle Dollar.
Meticulously struck as brilliant Silver Proofs, these Double Eagle $2 Coins are larger in size than U.S. Morgan Silver Dollars, and purer than any U.S. silver dollar ever struck for circulation. Each coin boasts two American Eagles in flight on the obverse, with the words “American Double Eagle”. The reverse features the frosted image of the Liberty Bell, the Cook Islands imprimatur, and the important $2 denomination on the reverse. Each is resplendent with highly prized frosted reliefs and mirror-like backgrounds, and the issue date of 2021.
Now, you can reserve your own 2021 Silver Double Eagle $2 Coin. Issue price was to be set at $39 per coin. However, during this special release, it can be yours for only $19.95.

There is a strict limit of five coins per customer. Distribution will take place in registration number order. So, the earliest orders will receive priority status over later ones.
