Australian Silver Proof Dollars

2002 Year Of Outback

.9999 Fine Silver

The Year of the Outback aims to celebrate the history, culture and achievements of the Australian Outback. It gives recognition of its importance and to its contribution to the life of the nation. The official logo for the Year of the Outback proudly features on the $1 Silver Proof and the $1 Aluminium Bronze 'C" mintmark coins. Designed by Elizabeth Robinson, who at that time was a student at Charles Sturt University, Wagga, New South Wales.

The logo depicts a stylised outline of Australia, with the top of the outline reflected in the nation's interior. The logo also incorporates the Southern Cross, a well-known symbol of Australia and guide for travellers over the ages. Reaching towards the Southern Cross are a series of trails, representing the stories or marks that were left, first by Aborigines and then by white settlers, explorers, and pioneers in the outback.
