About the Kangaroo Yongka
Kevin Bynder, the designer of this remarkable coin, is a passionate artist and teacher whose diverse portfolio of vibrant and striking works includes many indigenous guernsey and shirt designs for high-profile sporting franchises, as well as murals in both public and private spaces in and around Perth. Kevin’s works are inspired by Western Australia’s natural environment and reflect the history and knowledge of his people who have lived on Nyoongar country for tens of thousands of years.

During the past 250 years, the kangaroo has been recognized as Australia's most recognizable animal. The marvelous marsupial has always lived side-by-side with the First Nations Australians. They carry a strong cultural and spiritual significance.

The kangaroo features in  Dreamtime and other traditional stories passed down by Aboriginal people from generation to generation. Many consider the kangaroo a totem, the subject of sacred beliefs and an important affirmation of their cultural identity. Kangaroos were an integral to Aboriginal people's way of life, providing sustenance and skins that were used to fashion protective cloaks.
