Christmas, Australian style. Santa has swapped the sleigh for a camel and the snow for sand on this year's Merry Christmas Stamp and Coin Cover from The Perth Mint and Australia Post.
Aleysha Howarth's coloured design puts Santa on the beach holding a pearl, with his camel and an elf beside him, seashells in the sand and cheeky crabs clutching candy canes. The coin also carries '2026' and The Perth Mint's 'P' mintmark.
The $1 uncirculated aluminium bronze coin sits in a designed card with a round window, so both sides can be seen. The envelope carries three official Australia Post stamps, postmarked on the first day of issue, and Australia Post's Seal of Authenticity.
