Comment
A tiny newborn kangaroo crawls into its mother’s pouch where it receives nourishment and protection until it feels safe enough to emerge for increasing periods of time. Eventually able to stand on its own two feet, the young ‘joey’ soon learns to hop alongside its watchful parent.Interesting fact
One interesting fact about this coin is that it is a piedfort, which means it is a coin that has been struck multiple times to create a thicker and heavier coin than usual. This process gives the coin a unique look and makes it stand out from other coins.
