Description

The third coin in the Kangaroo Series: Explorers’ First Sightings is based on an original handcoloured engraving, which has been captured with modern minting technology to celebrate the early glimpses of this iconic Australian animal.

Vincent Woodthorpe’s hand-coloured engraving was published in George Barrington’s A Voyage to Botany Bay, where he described kangaroos as, ‘about the size of a common deer, of a dark tan colour… its hind legs are much longer than the fore, and with them they leap and spring forward with amazing rapidity.”

Final release in the Kangaroo Series: Explorers First Sightings and a continuation of the 20-year tradition of Kangaroo Series coins
