Part of the Royal Australian Mint's ongoing "Treasures of Australia" program, this dollar marks Mango season and the town of Bowen, Queensland — home to the 10-metre fibreglass Big Mango roadside attraction erected in 2002. The Big Things are a distinctly Australian phenomenon dating to the 1960s tourism boom, when oversized sculptures became a reliable draw along long inland highway routes. Bowen's version briefly went missing in 2014 — stolen overnight — before being recovered within days, generating international press coverage wildly disproportionate to the object's cultural significance.
