2015 Snugglepot and Cuddlepie 1/2oz Silver Proof Coin

This beautiful coin will make an ideal gift for a newborn baby.

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.

The Perth Mint will release no more than 5,000 of the 2015 Snugglepot & Cuddlepie™ 1/2oz Silver Proof Coin.

The coin's reverse depicts a colour image of Snugglepot and Cuddlepie™ sitting on a tree branch, surrounded by gumnuts and gum leaves, with Little Ragged Blossom between them.

The coin is housed in an elaborate themed gift card, with room to write the babies details, a family tree and a place to house a photograph.
