2023 Auspost Impressions - First Nations Coin & Note Portfolio

Beautifully presented, and underpinned by strictly Uncirculated quality, the First Nations Australians Coin & Note Portfolio forms a compelling and yet surprisingly affordable tribute to Australia’s indigenous heritage. Capturing the Spirit of the Dreamtime within state-of-the-art currency production, the first Australian legal tender issue to honour the nation’s indigenous heritage was the $1 note. Issued from the inception of the decimal system in 1966 until replaced by the $1 coin in 1984, the $1 note is united with the Bicentennial $10 banknote. One of the most important issues in the history of currency, this sought after $10 was Australia’s first commemorative note and the world’s first polymer note! Issued to celebrate the 50th anniversary of the Aboriginal flag, and highly sought after by collectors and non-collectors alike, the full-colour 2021 $2 is a key highlight of this impressive collection. This crucial, low-mintage one-year-only type is united with the 1988-2023 Aboriginal Elder $2, as well as the unique 2017 Pride & Passion 50c coin – issued to commemorate the 50th anniversary of the 1967 referendum and the 25th anniversary of the Mabo Land Rights decision.
