Theme Background:

The Royal Australian Mint’s Baby Set series will feature a Dot and the Kangaroo theme from 2012 to 2014. This children’s book was originally written in 1899 by Ethel C. Pedley and follows the adventures of a girl named Dot who gets lost in the Australian outback. This classically Australian book is part of our nation’s character and follows the tradition set by previous baby sets which depicted quintessentially Australian characters such as Blinky Bill, Snugglepot and Cuddlepie, and The Magic Pudding.

Coin Set Features
In keeping with the Baby Set tradition, the proof set will include a specially pad printed medallion depicting a typical Dot and the Kangaroo image as well as all six standard circulating designs individually pressed and polished to a mirror finish. In 2012 this set will be presented in a newly designed book style presentation case, but don’t worry, there is still enough space to personalise this coin set with a photo and a family tree.

All six 2012 uncirculated coins, a special colour printed medallion and a one dollar coin featuring Dot and the Kangaroo and her creator Ethel C Pedley will make the uncirculated 2012 Baby Set a popular choice with new parents, gift buyers and collectors. The medallion and specially designed $1 coin can only to be obtained by purchasing the uncirculated 2012 Baby Set.
