The larger term of the pair (a(n), a(n+1)) is always prime and the larger digit of any pair of adjacent digits is also prime.

COMMENTS
The sequence is started with a(1) = 0 and always extended with the smallest integer not yet present and not leading to a contradiction.
If two successive digits are equal (e.g., 2,2) we accept that there is a "larger one" (2).
The digits "8" and "9" cannot be present in the sequence as no "prime digit" is larger than "8" or "9".

In the 1st pair of integers (0,2) the larger term is 2, which is prime;
in the 2nd pair of integers (2,1) the larger term is 2, which is prime;
in the 3rd pair of integers (1,3) the larger term is 3, which is prime;
in the 4th pair of integers (3,5) the larger term is 5, which is prime;
...
in the 9th pair of integers (71,20) the larger term is 71, which is prime;
in the 10th pair of integers (20,23) the larger term is 23, which is prime;
in the 11th pair of integers (23,12) the larger term is 23, which is prime; etc.
