Featuring a not-issued-for-circulation ‘off-metal’ 50c – struck from aluminium-bronze and NOT copper-nickel – this tribute to Dorothea Mackellar and her poem The Colours of Light is guaranteed to trigger barnstorming demand!

Capturing the essence of the Australian landscape through her evocative, vibrant poetry, Dorothea Mackellar (1885-1968) is one of Australia’s most famous poets. Tapping into the collective soul of the nation, Mackellar’s poetry still resonates today, and she undoubtedly deserves her place in the pantheon of Australian literary icons.

An inspired, exclusive tribute from Australia Post, this superbly illustrated Stamp & Coin Cover unites a $1.50c stamp with a 50c coin from the Royal Australian Mint. Enshrining the power of Mackellar’s work in Australian legal tender, The Colours of Light 50c is one of the finest works of numismatic art produced by the Royal Australian Mint. In addition to its palpable aesthetic quality, this coin is a not-issued-for-circulation type and – very importantly – an ‘off-metal’ striking.

When offered as an individual coin in March, the Dorothea Mackellar The Colours of Light 50c sold out at Downies at super speed, leaving many people empty-handed. A must-have – particularly for those who missed out before – we expect our tiny allocation of this sensational Stamp & Coin Cover will be obliterated by demand.
