Comment

Gloriously illustrated by artist Elise Martinson, the coin portrays the adorable wide-eyed innocence of a dingo pup and representations of Australian native flowers and a butterfly.

This beautiful coin is the third release from a sublime Bush Babies series for lovers of cute and cuddly Australian animals.

No more than 10,000 of these 2011-dated coins will be released by The Perth Mint.

Each coin is accompanied by a numbered Certificate of Authenticity. Like each release in the series, this coin is individually housed in a display case and themed box-shipper.
