THE EMU IN THE SKY
1/2 oz .999 Ag
Description:
The Emu in the Sky coin features the work of Wiradjuri artist Scott “Sauce” Towney from Peak Hill. The constellation is a silhouette traced by the dark spaces in the Milky Way. Indigenous Australians were the first astronomers and have been using the stars as navigation maps, calendars and to tell stories for tens of thousands of years. Under the Constellation is depicted a detailed image of an Emu and her nest, along with a clutch of eggs. Next to the nesting Emu are three young Aboriginal men posing and narrating the story of the "Emu in the Sky" with gestures. The inscriptions on this face of the coin are - "THE EMU IN THE SKY", and "1/2 Oz" and ".999 Ag" is inscribed close to the bottom rim.
