Comment

Issued by the RAM in 1993 as part of a Five Coin Masterpieces in Silver Set is this Sterling Silver (.925) Coin commemorating Famous Australian Explorers.

Interesting fact

One interesting fact about this coin is that it features a unique design that highlights the contributions of Aboriginal explorers to the discovery and mapping of Australia. The reverse side of the coin depicts a group of Aboriginal people in a traditional canoe, surrounded by a map of Australia and various navigational tools. This design was created by Aboriginal artist, David Malangi, and it represents the first time that an Indigenous artist's work was featured on an Australian coin. This coin is not only a beautiful piece of art, but it also serves as an important reminder of the rich history and culture of Australia's Indigenous people.
