The proof has frosted designs with mirror fields and were
encapsulated in plastic, packaged in a special, plush presentation case, accompanied by a
numbered certificate. The kangaroo is an icon that symbolises Australia through out the world, not only because it stands on our coat of arms but also because its spirit of fighting to survive in one of the world's harshest climates, Australia. The bounding kangaroo is once again featured with the stars of the Southern Cross incorporated into the background creating a stunning contemporary piece. The raised polished image with frosted background was crafted by Wojciech Pietranik, Engraver at the Royal Australian Mint. |
