Following on from the success of the Ocean Series throughout 2006 and 2007, the Royal Australian Mint is proud to announce the release of the first two coins in the Land Series. The first two coins of a six part series, the Koala and Wombat. As testament to the existing pad printed collection, the Koala and Wombat coins on offer they are an eye-catching example of where traditional coin sculpture meets pad printing technology. The product presentation includes relevant and educational information on each of the land dwelling animals depicted. The blister packed product card is an attractive point of sale item in many coin stores, while maintaining an appeal to established coin purchasers. At just under $15 each these products represent an excellent entry level opportunity for the young collector. These images, and the coins to come, make these coins extremely marketable to gift buyers and various wildlife supporters and foundations.
