Comment
Coin struck by the RAM but issued by Australia Post as change into circulation from 3500 Post Offices Australia wide. The coins are featuring 26 classic Aussie icons from letters of the Alphabet from A to Z.This coin is the Letter "E" for Esky. From spending the day at the beach to picnics at the footy and BBQ's in the park, there's nothing we love more than a packed Esky for a day out in the Aussie sun. Our cousins across the water may call it a chilly bin, but the brand Esky has made the term 'esky' so popular in Australia that it can be found in the Macquarie Dictionary.
A press in album for the 26 coins was available for $9 or you can buy the full set of 26 coins in a special tube including the album for $49.
