Australian Bush Babies 1/2oz Silver Proof Sugar Glider Coin

This is the second coin from Australian Bush Babies, a beautiful new series that made an enormous impact with the first release portraying a cute and cuddly kangaroo ‘joey’. In her second outstanding design for the series, Elise Martinson portrays a beautiful little sugar glider with its eyes bright and alert.  Sugar gliders are tiny tree-dwelling Australian marsupials that can glide through the air for up to 100 metres.  At night, they come out to feed on insects and the sugary sap of eucalyptus and acacia.  The gorgeous animal is perched on a frosted interpretation of native flowers and accompanied by its insect ‘friend’.
