Celebrating forty-five years of The Australian Women’s Weekly Children’s Birthday Cake Book — the 1980 classic behind generations of Australian birthday memories — this premium Recipe Box Collection from the Royal Australian Mint gathers twelve commemorative coins alongside the recipes that made them famous.

Inside are eleven uncirculated $1 coins designed by the Mint’s Lydia Ashe, each depicting a beloved cake — Rubber Ducky, Dolly Varden, Swimming Pool, Humpty Dumpty, Candy Castle, Cuddly Koala, Echidna, Robert Robot, Tip Truck and Racing Track — plus the Choo Choo Train $1 coin exclusive to this collection (coin mintage just 16,000). Completing the set is a coloured uncirculated $2 coin featuring the Hickory Dickory Watch design.

The obverse of each coin bears the effigy of His Majesty King Charles III by Daniel Thorne.

The twelve carded coins are presented in the Mint’s recipe card box with matching printed cake recipe cards — a display piece as delightful as the coins themselves.
