| Additional information |
Part of the Perth Mint's "Young Collectors" series aimed at introducing children to coin collecting, this issue used pad printing — an industrial transfer process borrowed from promotional merchandise manufacturing — to apply color directly onto the coin surface. The technique was still relatively novel in Australian numismatics at the time and produced results that age unpredictably, making fully intact examples harder to find than mintage figures suggest.
