Picked up these really cool old(er) blank greeting cards from an antique dealer today. They are totally up my alley. As the 50c is 12 sided and it has the 1c and 2c I'm guessing they're circa 1969-1983. They are embossed and the coins are leaping out in full brilliance!

Hi,
What does it mean when it says that the reproductions are 25% larger than actual size?
Are they real coins or pressed foil reproductions similar to some of the fake 1980's PNCs that did the rounds.
Cheers

They're not real coins, they're embossed into the cardboard and gilded I guess, at 25% larger size than normal.
It's not meant to be a PNC or anything, just a greeting card from Australia. I hadn't ever seen anything like this before but I collect weird stuff -coin related.
