Country: Australia Year 2011 Face value 1 Dollar Metal Silver .999 Weight 1 Oz Size 40.60 mm Mintage 3,000 pcs Quality Proof COA Yes Presentation Packaging Yes Description: The comic strip was created by Jimmy Bancks and is named for its main character, Ginger Meggs. Ginger is represented as an independent, cheeky, twelve year old boy with a healthy disrespect for authority – characteristics that embody all the qualities of the quintessential Aussie larrikin. The coloured reverse depicts a representation of Ginger Meggs riding a kangaroo, his dog, Mike and his pet monkey, Tony. The design references the first Meggs cover of the 1924 Sunbeams Annual. Also incorporated in the design is the inscription, GINGER MEGGS 90th ANNIVERSARY which features the Ginger Meggs logo and the signatures of the cartoonists Bancks and Chatfield. The Perth Mint’s ‘P’ mintmark is included in the design. Issued as legal tender under the Australian Currency Act 1965, the coin’s obverse portrays the Ian Rank-Broadley effigy of Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II and the 2011 year-date. The coin is presented in a prestigious timber desk-display case, which includes a replica iconic Megg’s design inserted inside the lid and themed shipper.
