Official Australia Post tribute to Australian poet Dorothea Mackellar.
Celebrates Mackellar’s most famous poem, My Country.
Headlined by rare ‘off-metal’ Uncirculated 50c from the Royal Australian Mint.
A ‘not-issued-for-circulation’ type, the 50c is struck in aluminium-bronze, not the traditional copper-nickel!
Superbly illustrated official Cover, adorned with a $1.50c stamp depicting Australia’s ‘ragged mountain ranges’.
Limited edition just 7,000! Our allocation is tiny! Immediate action essential!
Headlined by a not-issued-for-circulation 50c struck from aluminium-bronze and NOT the traditional copper-nickel, this limited edition Australia Post tribute to Dorothea Mackellar and her classic poem My Country is sure to spark a wildfire of demand!
Capturing the essence of the Australian landscape through her evocative, vibrant poetry, Dorothea Mackellar (1885-1968) is one of Australia’s most iconic poets. Tapping into the collective soul of the nation, her poetry still resonates today, with My Country – including the legendary lines “I love a sunburnt country, A land of sweeping plains,Of ragged mountain ranges, Of droughts and flooding rains” – being her most famous work.
An inspired tribute to her place in the pantheon of Australian literary icons, this superbly illustrated Australia Post Cover unites a $1.50c stamp with a 50c coin from the Royal Australian Mint. Enshrining the lyrical beauty of Mackellar’s work in official Australian legal tender, the My Country 50c is a stunning work of numismatic art. In addition to its obvious 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 My Country 50c sold out at Downies in record time, leaving many empty-handed. Simply a must-have – especially for those who missed out before – we anticipate overwhelming demand for this spellbinding Stamp & Coin Cover.
