This unique coin means you can take your four-legged friend everywhere you go!

The Royal Australian Mint has partnered with the Royal Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals (RSPCA) to celebrate the 150^th anniversary of the organisation’s work in Australia. Founded in London in 1824 and then in Australia in 1871, the RSPCA works to protect all animals from cruelty.

An independent charity, the organisation relies on community support to run animal rehoming shelters, investigate complaints of animal cruelty and educate the community about responsible pet ownership and animal welfare. 

The RSPCA promotes the welfare of all animals. In fact, its moniker is “for all creatures, great and small”.

The puppy coin is unique, with a colourful eye-catching design and will appeal to dog lovers, coin collectors and animal devotees.

A dollar from the sale of every puppy coin will go to the RSPCA to help them continue their important work.

Each puppy coin includes the following features:

• Unique, colourful design
• Limited mintage of 22,500
• Uncirculated finish
