Comment

Originally published in 1918, May Gibbs’ Tales of Snugglepot & Cuddlepie™ went on to become a much-loved Australian children’s classic. Her creation of a fantasy world within the Australian bush, using creatures and images that were well-recognised and found right across the country, has fascinated generations of Australians for decades.

Interesting fact

One interesting fact about this coin is that it features the iconic Australian characters, Snugglepot and Cuddlepie, who are popular characters from a series of children's books created by May Gibbs in the early 20th century. The coin's design showcases the two characters in a playful pose, surrounded by eucalyptus leaves and flowers, which are native to Australia. This coin is a unique and charming collectible that celebrates Australian culture and history.
