2021 35th Anniversary of Animalia 20c Gold-Plated Uncirculated Coin and Book.

Animalia is a classic Australian children’s book, written and illustrated by
Graeme Base. Celebrating its 35th anniversary in 2021, the much-loved
book has now been captured on a coloured 20 cent coin for posterity.

This is the first release in a new series that will celebrate a different classic
Australian children’s book each year.

First published in 1986, more than three million copies of Animalia have
now been sold worldwide.

Written and illustrated by Graeme Base, the book has since been turned
into a television series and adapted for babies with My First Animalia.

The book takes children and adults on a colourful journey of the alphabet,
using alliteration and detailed animal illustrations to captivate them.

2021 made in total.
