NEW RELEASE

Christmas at the beach is an Aussie adventure packed with sunshine, salty splashes, and festive fun! While Santa swaps his sleigh for a camel, families gather on the sand for tasty barbecues, fresh seafood, and seaside picnics.

Kids race into the waves, build giant sand-snowmen, and hunt for seashell treasures. With colourful decorations, beach umbrellas, and plenty of laughter, it’ s a merry summer celebration full of coastloving Christmas cheer.

Capturing the festive spirit of an Australian Christmas, the coin ' s coloured reverse design portrays Santa holding a pearl and his trusty camel and elf. Instead of the traditional snowy landscape, Santa is found on a beach with seashells and cheeky crabs clutching candy canes.
