Description: The Royal Australian Mint have launched (30th March) their latest commemorative dollar coin, which features “Borobi,” the charming and welcoming mascot of the upcoming Commonwealth Games. The blue character, whose design and concept was based on the koala (one of the most recognisable of Australia’s native animals), was chosen by public ballot out of 4,000 entries. Borobi’s designer is Merrilyn Krohn, a teacher from Upper Kedron, Queensland. Borobi was unveiled last year in spectacular fashion, arriving by helicopter on Burleigh Beach on the Gold Coast—site of next year’s games—in front of a crowd of hundreds.
