The Perth Mint and Australia Post are delighted to present the fifth and final coin in this adorable series featuring iconic baby animals.
The coin and stamp both feature an irresistible image capturing the innocence, curiosity and gentle playfulness of a beautiful baby kangaroo.
Coin Design Follows Popular Bush Babies Silver Proof Series
Struck by The Perth Mint in uncirculated aluminium bronze, the $1 coin in this delightful Stamp and Coin Cover portrays a beautiful little kangaroo joey. The coin’s reverse depicts the cute marsupial set against a background of native flowers and foliage. The design includes the kangaroo’s insect friend and The Perth Mint’s ‘P’ mintmark.
Australian Legal Tender Coin
Issued as legal tender under the Australian Currency Act 1965, the uncirculated aluminium bronze coin is housed in a beautifully designed card that fits inside a similarly illustrated envelope with a circular window revealing the coin’s reverse and obverse designs.
Official Australia Post Stamp
Affixed to the envelope is an official Australia Post $1.65 stamp depicting the same kangaroo joey as featured on the coin. The stamp is postmarked for the first day of issue and the envelope includes Australia Post’s Seal of Authenticity and official number.
