Reverse
Engraved by Darryl Bellotti
Description:
The reverse showcases an artistic depiction of a kangaroo pauses on his hind legs and looks around expectantly. The design was inspired by an indigenous artist boyhood memories of a hunting trip in north-western Australia. The kangaroo is surrounded by patterns of dots, symbolizing the hunters journey, and circles, representing the places where they stopped. Struck in fine Silver with a mirror-like finish, this rectangular coin beautifully combines numismatic elegance with indigenous cultural heritage.
