Title:
2013 AU Kangaroo Silver Dollar Proof - Kangaroo Series
Description:
When Joseph Banks returned to England after the HMS Endeavour’s first Pacific voyage in 1771, little did he know he was carrying what was to become an iconic representation of our great land. He brought with him a kangaroo specimen, and commissioned a painting of the intriguing animal by artist George Stubbs.

Stubbs’ painting of the Kangaroo was the first by a non-indigenous artist. Engraved and published in the official account of the Endeavour’s voyage, it embodies Europe’s fascination with our native wildlife. The kangaroo has been synonymous with Australia ever since,
