Over the decades her circle of friends has grown into a warm and diverse group of companions — Pompompurin, Keroppi, My Melody, Cinnamoroll and Badtz-Maru. From calm, happy moments with Pompompurin to Keroppi's playful energy, My Melody's gentle bond and Cinnamoroll's shy sweetness, even the cheeky Badtz-Maru belongs — showing that Hello Kitty embraces everyone for who they are. Together their friendships celebrate kindness, fun and the beauty of being different while staying connected.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe coloured reverse portrays Hello Kitty in her pink overalls and iconic red bow alongside her group of friends, set against a background of stars and dots, with the inscriptions 'HELLO KITTY AND FRIENDS' and ©2026 SANRIO. The uncirculated aluminium bronze coin is housed in a beautifully designed card with a circular window revealing both the reverse and obverse designs. Affixed to the cover is an official Australia Post stamp, postmarked for the first day of issue, with Australia Post's Seal of Authenticity.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eSpecifications\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eIssuer:\u003c\/strong\u003e The Perth Mint (officially licensed Sanrio release)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDenomination:\u003c\/strong\u003e $1 — Tuvalu legal tender\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMetal:\u003c\/strong\u003e Aluminium bronze\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFinish:\u003c\/strong\u003e Uncirculated, coloured reverse\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWeight:\u003c\/strong\u003e 13.50 g\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDiameter:\u003c\/strong\u003e 30.70 mm\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eThickness:\u003c\/strong\u003e 3.40 mm\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eObverse:\u003c\/strong\u003e King Charles III effigy by Jody Clark\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eReverse designer:\u003c\/strong\u003e Jennifer McKenna\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMintage:\u003c\/strong\u003e PNC issue limit of 5,150\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFormat:\u003c\/strong\u003e Postal Numismatic Cover (PNC) with official Australia Post stamp and Seal of Authenticity\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eYear of issue:\u003c\/strong\u003e 2026\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eItem code:\u003c\/strong\u003e 26Y78BAD\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"Australia Post","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":67595892916378,"sku":"26Y78BAD","price":37.0,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0448\/1069\/8906\/files\/2026-hello-kitty-and-friends-1-dollar-pnc-envelope-front-watermarked_15ceff56-2a96-4cb4-8e18-c3574d99d2c9.jpg?v=1790596817","url":"https:\/\/aussiecoinsdirect.com.au\/products\/hello-kitty-and-friends-2026-stamp-and-coin-cover","provider":"Aussie Coins Direct","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
