Comment

The fourth of five 1/2oz silver proof coins from the adorable Dreaming Down Under Series, this irresistible release portrays a young Tasmanian devil.

The coin depicts a baby devil dozing in a fleece-lined twig basket – a prop that has created a popular trend in newborn photography among parents all around the world. As well as colourful Australian native flowers and wildlife, the design also incorporates The Perth Mint’s ‘P’ mintmark.

Accompanied by a numbered Certificate of Authenticity, each coin in the limited mintage is housed in a classic display case with a clear lid which comes in an illustrated shipper.
