| Additional information |
Ginger Meggs debuted in the Sydney Sunday Sun on 13 November 1921, created by cartoonist Jimmy Bancroft under the strip title "Us Fellers." The character outlasted its creator — Bancroft died in 1952 — and passed through several hands before becoming one of the longest continuously running comic strips in the world. The pad-printing technique used on this coin allows the Royal Australian Mint to reproduce the strip's color palette directly onto the silver field, a process that sidesteps the chromatic limitations of traditional enameling.
