It was changed forever after British settlement in 1788. In the 1960s, Australia’s original inhabitants began to receive the appropriate recognition from the broader community – including recognition through Australia’s currency.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIntroduced in 1966, the $1 paper banknote was the first Australian currency issue to recognise Indigenous Australian culture. A wonderful interpretation of traditional Australian art, the design is based on the bark painting by David Daymirringu. Since then, coins and notes have formed a powerfully symbolic medium in the process of reconciliation, including the 1988 Bicentennial $1 – created by numismatic master craftsman Stuart Devlin, and rendered in the style of Indigenous Australian art.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eCelebrating the timeless wonder of the Dreamtime through state-of-the-art currency production, this set is highlighted by an example of Australia’s 1966-84 paper $1 banknote – signatures of our choice. The perfect partner, the note is united with the unique 1988 Bicentennial $1 coin – Australia’s second commemorative $1! Australian legal tender, both issues are presented in strictly Uncirculated quality.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eA great addition to your own collection, and a distinctively Australian gift – especially for friends and contacts overseas – the First Nations Australians $1 Coin \u0026amp; Note Pack is a must-have at this affordable price.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eClick add to cart now!\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Downies Collectables","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":49037495599412,"sku":"41873","price":65.0,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0843\/1815\/9156\/files\/41873-updated.jpg?v=1780275943","url":"https:\/\/www.downies.com\/products\/australia-first-nations-1-uncirculated-note-coin-pack","provider":"Downies Collectables","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
