Comment
Dorothea MacKellar's My Country is one of Australia's most widely recited and beloved poems. Reflective of the author's great love of the Australian landscape, the poem has become one of the most recognised and celebrated pieces of Australian poetry ever written.2nd stanza
I love a sunburnt country,
A land of sweeping plains,
Of ragged mountain ranges,
Of droughts and flooding rains.
I love her far horizons,
I love her jewel-sea,
Her beauty and her terror
The wide brown land for me!
Interesting fact
One interesting fact about this coin is that it features a unique pad-printed design, which gives the appearance of a "jewel sea" effect. This is achieved through a special printing technique that involves applying a layer of transparent color to the coin's surface, creating a shimmering effect that resembles the sparkle of jewels. This feature adds an extra layer of beauty and collectibility to the coin, making it a sought-after item among coin enthusiasts.
