| Additional information |
Mr. Squiggle, the pencil-nosed puppet from the moon, first aired on the ABC in 1959 and ran for an extraordinary 40 years — one of the longest-running children's television programs in Australian history. The 2019 release marked the 60th anniversary of that debut. Gus the snail was a supporting character notorious for his glacial pace, a running gag that became as recognizable to Australian audiences as the show itself. The pad-printed color application, rather than a traditional colored insert, distinguishes this circulation commemorative from earlier RAM color coin releases.
