2017 $2 RED POSSUM MAGIC HAPPY HUSH IS VISIBLE AUSTRALIAN TWO DOLLAR COIN CIRC
In 2017, the Royal Australian Mint introduced a captivating coin series celebrating the enduring charm of one of Australia's beloved children's stories â Possum Magic.
Possum Magic, penned by Merrion Frances "Mem" Fox in 1978, recounts the adventures of two Australian possums, Grandma Poss and her grandchild Hush. Originally facing rejection from nine publishers, the book found its home at Omnibus Books, which requested a reduction in size and an all-Australian animal cast, emphasizing the unique Australian theme. The enchanting narrative unfolds as Grandma Poss employs her possum magic to render Hush invisible, shielding the child from the perils of the Australian Bush. With the duo embarking on a quest to restore visibility, Possum Magic has become a cherished part of Australian literary heritage.
To commemorate this cherished tale, the coin series includes four $1 coins and three colour-printed $2 coins, featuring iconic illustrations by Julie Vivas, whose artwork graced the original publication. Additionally, Vivas contributed a new reverse design, portraying Hush engrossed in reading, possibly her own copy of Possum Magic, adorning a one cent coin. This delightful coin series captures the whimsical essence of Possum Magic, offering collectors and enthusiasts a tangible and endearing tribute to this treasured Australian story.
The enchanting coin from the Possum Magic series features a jubilant moment as baby possum Hush leaps with joy upon regaining visibility.
Encircling the joyful figure is a vibrant coloured ring, primarily adorned in shades of orange, comprising orange, red, dark pink, yellow, and pale blue stars.
The series' title, "POSSUM MAGIC," graces the space above the delightful depiction, while below, the coin proudly displays its value and denomination: TWO DOLLARS. This captivating design encapsulates the whimsical essence of Possum Magic, offering a vibrant and celebratory tribute to this beloved Australian tale.
