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 "J" for Jackaroo & Jillaroo. Jackaroos and Jillaroos are an enduring representation of the adventurous and rugged Australian outback. Country born or 'new chums', these young Aussies are heroes in training. There are special schools that teach skills such as horse handling, sheep shearing and mustering to young Jackaroo and Jillaroo hopefuls.
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.
