| Additional information |
Issued under license from Mattel to mark Barbie's 50th anniversary — the doll having debuted at the American International Toy Fair on March 9, 1959 — this Perth Mint release was part of a broader wave of branded numismatic products the mint aggressively pursued through the 2000s. Mintage was capped and the coin sold primarily through collector channels rather than circulation, ensuring most examples have never seen a pocket.
