2011 Australian Bush Babies - Bilby Stamp and Coin Cover PNC
Description
The coin and stamp feature the Australian bilby, a beloved desert-dwelling marsupial that is nocturnal. The bilby lives in burrows underground to protect itself from the heat and predators. This delightful creature has adapted well to its environment with the female’s pouch facingbackwards so that it doesn’t fill with dirt when she’s digging!
In this outstanding design for Australian Bush Babies, Elise Martinson portrays a little bilby withits eyes bright and alert. The baby bilby is set against a background of native flowers andfoliage. The design includes a grasshopper friend and The Perth Mint’s ‘P’ mintmark.
