Australia First Nations $1 Uncirculated Note & Coin Pack

Australia First Nations $1 Uncirculated Note & Coin Pack

Underpinned by strictly Uncirculated quality, the First Nations Australians $1 Coin & Note Portfolio forms a beautifully presented, eye-catching and surprisingly affordable tribute to Australia’s Indigenous heritage.

Domiciled on the Australian continent for at least 50,000 years, the traditional way of life of First Nations peoples was disrupted by the arrival of Europeans in the 17th century. It was changed forever after British settlement in 1788. In the 1960s, Australia’s original inhabitants began to receive the appropriate recognition from the broader community – including recognition through Australia’s currency.

Introduced in 1966, the $1 paper banknote was the first Australian currency issue to recognise Indigenous Australian culture. A wonderful interpretation of traditional Australian art, the design is based on the bark painting by David Daymirringu. Since then, coins and notes have formed a powerfully symbolic medium in the process of reconciliation, including the 1988 Bicentennial $1 – created by numismatic master craftsman Stuart Devlin, and rendered in the style of Indigenous Australian art.

Celebrating the timeless wonder of the Dreamtime through state-of-the-art currency production, this set is highlighted by an example of Australia’s 1966-84 paper $1 banknote – signatures of our choice. The perfect partner, the note is united with the unique 1988 Bicentennial $1 coin – Australia’s second commemorative $1! Australian legal tender, both issues are presented in strictly Uncirculated quality.

A great addition to your own collection, and a distinctively Australian gift – especially for friends and contacts overseas – the First Nations Australians $1 Coin & Note Pack is a must-have at this affordable price.
