If you've spent time in Australia or have ever been introduced to its classic literature, there's no doubt you've encountered the picture book, Possum Magic. This endearing childhood fable about a cute possum named Hush discovering the secret to her own visibility is popular both in Australia and abroad. Now a collaborative effort has seen seen beautiful memento gifts produced to promote the book across the country.

Engraved Promotional Coin Gift Sets

It's been 34 years since Possum Magic was first published and it hasn't lost any of its magic. That's why Woolworths and The Royal Australian Mint decided to collaborate on some highly memorable $2 promotional merchandise -- personalised $2 coins featuring Hush the possum! Each of these affordable and appealing coins features artwork by original book illustrator Julie Vivas of Hush the possum in her varying states of invisible / partially visible / fully visible.

What makes these coins so amazing is how cheap they are! Not many collaborative promotional products are as low in cost as $2 coins, and yet the coins themselves (including the extended range of $1 and 1c units) look absolutely stunning. This owes to a combination of the lovely art from the book and the Aussie Mint's decoration techniques. To achieve similar results on metal products in our range, we'd recommend laser engraving to ensure your design is etched into the surface of the item forever!

Like a lot of the cool products we blog about, these delightful decorated coins are only going to be available for a limited time. So if you're a fan of Possum Magic or are simply intrigued by a branded collaboration that combines groceries, books, and coins, you might need to keep your eyes open this August!
