$1 UNCIRCULATED COIN – CANDY CASTLE

A Slice of Aussie Childhood: From the Cake Tin to the Coin Press

For 45 years, the Australian Women’s Weekly Children’s Birthday Cake Book has been at the heart of childhood celebrations across the country. Passed down through generations, this beloved book has sparked joy, kitchen chaos and unforgettable birthday memories.

Designed by the Mint’s Lydia Ashe, each coin captures the quirkiness of its original cake: popcorn hairstyles, chocolate-finger echidna quills, potato-chip beaks and sprinkles galore. You’ll spot beloved classics like Rubber Ducky, Dolly Varden, and Robert Robot, alongside the infamously ambitious Tip Truck and the wonderfully detailed Humpty Dumpty. The coins are adorned with festive streamers, confetti and a glowing birthday candle representing the denomination. The obverse features the effigy of His Majesty King Charles III, designed by Daniel Thorne.
