Historical Background

This coin is the work of Aboriginal artist Kevin Bynder, a member of the Whadjuk-Yuet-Ballardong tribe. Kevin's works are inspired by the natural environment of Western Australia, focusing on the history and knowledge of the indigenous people of these lands.

The kangaroo, as one of the fundamental themes of Aboriginal art, has been present in it for millennia. The oldest piece of Australian rock art is a 17,000-year-old painting depicting a kangaroo located in the northwestern Kimberley region. It is this tradition that inspired Kevin Bynder in creating the coin.
