2025 50c Treasured Australian Stories Dorothy Mackellar The Colours of Light Uncirculated Coin

Description: Isobel Marion Dorothea Mackellar OBE was born on 1 July 1885 and holds a unique place in the literary heart of Australia. Through her evocative and descriptive poems, she captured the unique qualities of the country’s landscape, its light and colours, and in the process taped into our collective soul, giving word to our fundamental connection to country and place. My Country, The Colours of Light and Dawn beautifully highlight Mackellar’s romantic style and her love of this wide brown land, and its many natural splendors. Each poem gorgeously rendered as a 50c aluminum bronze coin. The reverse of this coin depicts the beloved poem by Dorothea Mackellar – The Colour of Light.
