Comment
Issued as the second in a 5-coin Bush Babies series this coin depicts a young sugar glider with eyes bright and alert in full colour with Australian native flowers and an insect in the background.The coin is housed encapsulated in a black hinged-lid presentation case accompanied by a numbered certificate of authenticity and protected by a colourful cardboard shipper.
Sugar gliders are tiny tree-dwelling Australian marsupials that can glide through the air for up to 100 meters. At night they come out to feed on insects and the sugary sap of eucalyptus and acacia trees.
