2026 Our Animals, Our Country $1 & $2 Carded Coin Set (Complete Set of 6 Carded Coins)

Australia is home to more than 250 Aboriginal languages. The United Nations has declared a special decade to highlight and improve efforts to preserve Aboriginal languages. The Our Animals, Our Country coin collection celebrates Gudanji/Wakaja languages from the Gulf Country and the Barkly Tablelands of the Northern Territory. The coins depict Australian animals and continue the Gudanji/Wakaja peoples’ traditions of storying through pattern, design and relationships with all entities.
