General Coin Information

Continuing the successful Discover Australia collection, the Perth Mint has started a three year series called Dreaming. The Discover Australia 2009 Dreaming – Kangaroo coin is the first of 15 coins that will be a part of this set. 2009 will see the release of 5 coins, followed by 5 in 2010 and the remaining 5 in 2011.

Indigenous designer Darryl Bellotti’s interpretation of a kangaroo is featured on the reverse of this coin. He has also designed the other 14 coins that will be released as part of the Dreaming collection. Darryl explains his artisitic style:

“You will identify it as Australian Indigenous art, but I also want you to recognise it as mine as soon as you see it".

All coins in the set will be available in gold, silver or platinum. The gold version will be issued in 3 different sizes, 1/2 oz, 1/10 oz and 1/25 oz.

Each coin will ship in a display case featuring a timber lid, along with a numbered Certificate of Authenticity. The coins will also be available in a 5 coin set which will include all of the coins released in 2009 as part of the Dreaming collection.

If available, this coin may be purchased online from the following Perth Mint page:
