Discover Australia Dreaming coin series depicts iconic aspects of Australian wildlife, landscape and culture expressed through indigenous art. Releases between 2009 and 2011, these beautiful proof coins intended to depict unique interpretations of 15 different Australian animals. They were created by Darryl Bellotti, an Australian Indigenous (aboriginal) artist of both Yamatji and Nyoongar descent. Bellotti was inspired by his boyhood memories of hunting trips in northwestern Australia, where he observed the unique fauna of the island continent and was guided by his elders in the aboriginal art depicting each animal surrounded by patterns that symbolize the Dreamtime and the native landscape of the outback. This is the first set of these coins, released in 2009 and features Brolga (Australian Crane), Bottlenose Dolphin, Echidna (or Spiny Anteater), Kangaroo, and King Brown Snake (also known as Mulga Snake).

The obverse of each coin shows effigy of Her Majesty, Queen Elizabeth II of England facing right and the set comes in one luxury presentations case with native Australian jarrah wood lid (jarrah is a species of eucalyptus tree only found in the southwest of Western Australia), in illustrated outer shipper, and with very low Certificate of Authenticity by Perth Mint.
