Struck by the Royal Australian Mint, this Australian legal tender coin honours the Women’s Weekly Children’s Birthday Cake Book. Selling well over a million copies, this iconic cookbook has been key to countless children’s birthday parties since first published in 1980. It has rightly been described as an ‘Australian cult icon’ and a ‘national treasure’. Whether you remember poring over the cookbook as a kid, agonising over which cake to choose, or remember the delightful parental stress of trying to get that cake absolutely perfect, this new full-colour $2 coin is the perfect memento! For decimal collectors, it’s simply a must-have.

Bearing a design based on the classic Hickory Dickory Watch Cake, and also featuring the Choo Choo Train cake found on the cover of the Women’s Weekly Children’s Birthday Cake Book, this coin will be just as sought after as its predecessors in the colour $2 series. Catching the eye of collector and non-collector alike, colour $2 coins are notoriously difficult to find in change. Even if you’re lucky and find this new $2 type, it won’t be in Uncirculated condition – as offered here.
