Title:
2014 AU Kangaroo Silver Dollar Proof
Description:
Famed wildlife author John Gould often sought the assistance of talented artists, including Henry Constantine Richter.
Born into a family of artists around 1821, Richter produced hundreds of wildlife illustrations during his career, including all of the lithographs for Gould’s 1845 publication, The Mammals of Australia.
An image from that book has inspired this coin’s design.
Richter’s depiction of Western Grey Kangaroos was taken from a sketch made by Gould on his 1838 journey to Australia, during which he and his wife amassed enough material for three books.
This certificate authenticates the accompanying coin as Australian legal tender, produced by the Royal Australian Mint.
