2012 Six Coin Proof Australian Baby Coin Set Dot and the Kangaroo

2012 Six Coin Proof Australian Baby Coin Set – Dot and the Kangaroo

Here at the Royal Australian Mint we love the excitement in the planning, production and final release of a new theme for our baby sets. Since 1993, when we first featured the Gumnut Babies Series, we have produced thousands of themed coin sets, which have been welcome gifts for newborns, christenings and first birthdays or simply a pristine set of coins to commemorate a year. From 2012 to 2014, Dot and the Kangaroo will feature for the first time on the six coins proof and uncirculated baby coin sets.

Few Australian children's stories have stood the test of time like Ethel Pedley’s Dot and the Kangaroo. First published in 1899, the story of loss, nature and friendship has captured the imagination of children and adults for over a century.

The six stunning proof coins included in this set will stand the test of time and remain a delightful reminder of childhood. Add a photo frame and baby book housed in a case with themed packaging and it makes a wonderful gift or unique collectible.
