TURTLE YAUNATI

Antiqued Coloured Coin

Turtles hold profound significance in Indigenous Australian cultures.

They form an integral part of their cultural identity, of ceremony and traditions, as well as a sustainable natural world.

Design

This product is created in collaboration with award-winning designer Chern’ee Sutton. The coin’s coloured reverse depicts several turtles surrounded by elements which symbolise their journey through time, water and connection to Country. The circles represent water holes and the ocean, while the trail of turtles is symbolic of the ocean currents they follow during migration. The jellyfish are their primary source of food, and the dotted circles embody generations of turtles telling the story of their life’s cycle and their relation to past, present and future.

Technical Information

This coin has been individually ‘antiqued’ to give it a unique finish conveying the surface abrasions of an ancient artefact. As a result of this treatment, the appearance of each coin in the mintage may vary.
