2021 $1 Star Dreaming - The Shark in the Stars 1/2 oz Silver
SKU:
Torres Strait Dauareb elder Segar Passi's shark artwork is inspired by seven stars in the Big Dipper and Ursa Major constellation, forming the body of a deep-sea predator. The shark's position in the sky signals when to plant crops and the timing of seasonal storms. Stardreaming is a three-coin series that showcases indigenous astronomical stories.
As Melanesian sea-faring people, the Torres Strait Islanders are custodians of a region spanning 48,000 square kilometers of water and over 250 islands, including 14 inhabited ones. Their culture dates back approximately 8,000 years, to when rising sea levels at the end of the last Ice Age submerged the land bridge between Papua New Guinea and Australia.
This 1/2 oz silver frosted uncirculated one-dollar coin, dated 2021, is the third release in the series and has a limited mintage of 5,000. It is expected to be highly sought after.
