This premium deluxe version features a selection of three original hand-polished Australian pennies or replicas for those rare dates.

Every game is carefully crafted from reclaimed Australian hardwoods such as River Red, Blue Gum, and Blackbutt, giving each piece its own distinct character.

The games are individually handcrafted and hand-polished, utilizing pre-1965 pennies or their post-1965 replicas, and are finished with a clear brass lacquer for added protection.

The spinning pad is made from durable Kangaroo hide leather, providing a reliable non-slip surface.

Your Two-Up game arrives in a stylish heavy-duty display box with a secure magnetic closure, making it perfect for gifting.

Included are comprehensive rules, along with insights into the game's rich history and traditions.

The dimensions of the kip are 195mm x 45mm x 8mm, while the magnetic closure gift box measures 220mm x 70mm x 22mm, making it a beautiful addition to any collection.

The Two-Up game includes either authentic Australian pennies or reproduction pennies for years that were never released or are very rare.

You can select from the available year dates in the drop-down menu.

This is a great opportunity to find a penny from someone's birth year as a thoughtful gift.

The drop-down menu will specify whether the pennies are original or replicas, with most pennies from 1964 and earlier being original, while those from after 1964 will be replicas.

Two-Up is a unique aspect of Australian culture, standing proudly alongside iconic figures such as Henry Lawson, Banjo Patterson, and the infamous Ned Kelly.

Known as the oldest and fairest gambling game in Australia, it is affectionately referred to as "the greatest game of all" due to the lively atmosphere and excitement it generates.

The game first arrived in Australia with convicts in the late 18th century and has since become a cherished tradition during significant events like the gold rushes and both World Wars. It plays a vital role in ANZAC Day celebrations, where veterans gather for a dawn service followed by a march, fostering a sense of community as they share stories over a cold drink afterward.

The familiar call of "come-in spinner" echoes from pubs and clubs across the country, highlighting the game's enduring popularity.

Each year, the tradition grows, offering thrills for both winners and those who simply relish the game's energy.

While law enforcement often turns a blind eye to the festivities on ANZAC Day, it's worth noting that Two-Up remains legal in Broken Hill year-round and can also be found in various local casinos.
 
Two-Up is an easy-to-learn game that accommodates any number of players, overseen by a designated individual known as ‘The Boxer’. The main goal is to achieve three consecutive spins of heads.

Players must keep their initial bets in the ring until they either lose by spinning a pair of tails or win by landing three sets of heads in a row.

A successful spin results in the initial bet being multiplied by eight, turning a $10 wager into $80.

Additionally, players can place side bets on the outcome of each toss, with the head betters typically managing the wagers.

The game can be played using two pennies, allowing for re-spins if odd results occur, or with three pennies to guarantee a result on each throw.
 
Each game is carefully handmade, with the kip or board expertly shaped from recycled Australian hardwood and finished with lacquer to accentuate the beautiful wood grain.

The original pennies are polished by hand and lacquered to preserve their shiny patina.

Additionally, an A4 document detailing the history, rules, and terms is included.

Australia minted commonwealth style pennies from 1911 through to 1936 and Kangaroo pennies from 1938 through to 1964.
