Comments

The Royal Australian Mint has partnered with the Children’s Book Council of Australia to release this coin, the first of a new series. Launched in the lead up to 2021 Book Week, the coin is a nod to the joy and importance of reading. Animalia is a classic Australian children’s book, written and illustrated by Graeme Base. Celebrating its 35th anniversary in 2021, the much-loved book has now been captured on a coloured 20 cent coin for posterity.

This Gold Plated version of the coin was only available packaged in a hardcover anniversary edition book of Animalia.
