Australia 2009 Turtle Dreaming .999 Pure Silver 1oz Rectangular $1 In official Perth Mint card second quality UNC The reverse design was created by Darryl Bellotti, an indigenous artist of Yamatji and Nyoongar descent. The design was inspired by his boyhood memories of a hunting trip in north-western Australia. The turtle is surrounded by patterns of dots, symbolising the hunter's journey, and circles, representing the places where they stopped. Each coin is housed in an illustrated presentation pack which includes Darryl Bellotti's signature and his evocative description of hunting in the Australian bush. The pack incorporates a Certificate of Authenticity. The coins were struck on a mint-to-order basis with orders accepted until the announcement of the 2010 dolphin coin when production ended and the final mintage of 1,859 was announced.
