Comments

This NCLT commemorative 5 Cent coin produced by the RAM is part of the "Baby Coins" six coin Baby Coin set for 2024.

This year sees the introduction of the King Charles III Effigy by Dan Thorne on the obverse of the coin.
No Proof Set was issued in 2024.

The Royal Australian Mint celebrates the arrival of your newest bundle of joy with its Baby Coin Set.
The $2 coin shows an adorable Indigenous baby, looking with giggling wonder at a cute star mobile. An adorable mob of cuddly plush kangaroos flop about on the back of the $1 coin. The 50cent coat of arms has been given a riotous party makeover with plush roo and emu. A cute wind-up platypus swims amongst the bubbles on the 20cent. The shy lyrebird on the 10cent coin is now a winky-wonky marionette puppet and finally a wooden echidna sits on the 5cent. Altogether, they create a unique and engaging year set that celebrates the arrival of a new baby, the wonders of a child’s imagination and the simple joys of collecting.
