Released as part of the Royal Australian Mint's circulating commemorative program tied to Mem Fox's 1983 children's book Possum Magic, this coin depicts Hush in her invisible state — a printing challenge solved through pad printing directly onto the alloy surface, the same technique used for the broader Possum Magic series issued that year. Pad printing on a circulating $2 coin was an unusual production choice, and the applied color layer is notoriously vulnerable to wear, making intact examples harder to find than the mintage figures alone would suggest.
