The Star Dreaming Series launched in May 2020 to showcase Indigenous astronomical stories. The first in the series was Emu in the Sky, featuring the art of Scott ‘Sauce’ Towney.

We’ll chat to the artist about his art, the Emu in the Sky constellation and delve into what it was like having his art featured on a coin.

Honey bees are responsible for the pollination of 65% of Australian crops, impacting our life every single day.

In 2022, the Royal Australian Mint released the Honeybee $2 Circulating and Uncirculating Coins to celebrate the Honey Bee industry in Australia.

Let's meet Aleks, Julie and Sasha to find out why bees are so important to our way of life, and how they can be protected.

This set commemorates not only the historic succession from Queen to King, but also an important moment in Australian numismatic history as a new Monarch appears on our coins for the first time in seven decades. In this month’s webinar, we’ll chat to coin designer Aleks Stokic and Product and Project Development Manager - Matt Frawley about this significant moment.
 

The Royal Australian Mint is proud to present our first webinar where we dive into the design and development of one of our beautiful collectible coins.

They chat about how this coin came about, the different design elements, and significant milestones in space.
