Should definitely commemorate the Bundy Bear! Then again they commemorated the 1808-2008 Rum Rebellion coin which may be close enough.

Hey Peter, ok here's some Bundy history; The Bundy Bear/Dropbear/Polar Bear was introduced in 1961 the reason for the (Polar Bear) was simply to signify that the rum could fend off the coldest chill. A real oddity, but it stuck as we've all seen in their advertising campaigns. Two things I know: 1) Polymer notes 2) Bundaberg Rum

thankyou: I never grasped the significance of it. As I live in the N.T., where temperatures are rarely below 19 C, Bundy has an altogether different reputation: "there's a fight in every bottle."
