1990 Mint Set - Aboriginal Motif
This set pays tribute to the Australian Aboriginal people. Australian Aboriginals believe that in another time, the 'dreamtime', ancestral spirits wandered the earth in both animal and human forms. In their travels, they created the features of the land, rivers, hills, waterholes and rock formations. They also controlled the movements of the sun and moon, rain clouds and tides. These spirits established sacred laws and customs and their travels were embodied in the Aboriginal myths. It is through storytelling and decorated objects such as bark paintings that the power and influence of these ancient myths remain undiminished even today.
This set represents the annual release by the Royal Australian Mint of Australia's circulating coins. The 1990 set consists of eight coins:
- One Cent,
- Two Cents,
- Five Cents,
- Ten Cents,
- Twenty Cents,
- Fifty Cents,
- One Dollar and
- Two Dollars.
