			=== Mint Marks ===
	Mint marks on the Australian 1966 two-cent coin provide a fascinating insight into its production history. These marks, discernible by examining the front feet of the frill-necked lizard depicted on the coin, indicate the mint of manufacture. Specifically, a blunted rightmost claw on the front right foot signifies a Perth minting, while a blunted second claw from the right on the left foot indicates a Melbourne minting. The absence of blunted claws suggests a Canberra minting. This unique identification system underscores the intricate details of coin minting and adds a layer of intrigue for collectors and historians alike.
