The Tooth Fairy is a childhood tradition celebrated Australia-wide to mark the occasion of a child losing a baby tooth. Fun and mysterious, the Tooth Fairy collects the lost tooth and replaces it with a coin. The 2023 Tooth Fairy coin honours this long-held tradition and is a charming keepsake for children as they reach this important milestone.

The Royal Australian Mint is proud to release the 2023 Tooth Fairy Coin in Card, available to families as they mark the occasion of a child losing a baby tooth. With a fresh new coin design and packaging illustrations, the product portrays a sense of intrigue, fun and celebration.

The first Tooth Fairy product was released by the Royal Australian Mint in 2020 with marked success. After three years of the original design, the 2023 design will give families a new product with which to mark the occasion.

With a history dating back to 1920 in Australia, the Tooth Fairy is a childhood icon who traditionally collects the lost tooth and replaces it with a coin. Losing baby teeth and growing adult teeth is an opportunity for children to learn about good oral hygiene while being swept up with the sense of occasion.
