2002 $1 Silver Proof Coin - Year of the Outback

The Year of the Outback aims to celebrate the history, culture and achievements of the Outback, and to give recognition to its contribution and importance in the life of the nation.

The logo for the Year of the Outback depicted on the $1 coin was designed by Elizabeth Robinson, a student at Charles Sturt University, Wagga, NSW.

This fine silver proof coin is just one of 12,500 commemorative coins celebrating Australia's unique Outback. The reverse design of this coin was sculpted by Wojciech Pietranik. The obverse displays the effigy of Her Majesty Qeen Elisabeth II by Ian Rank-Broadley.
