2002 Australian Proof Set - Year of the Outback - Left Handed Coins & Banknotes

The year 2002 marks Australia's celebration of the 'Year of the Outback'. The Australian Outback is a part of Australia both geographically, and ideologically, that has never been defined and may mean something different to every Australian. To most Australians it means simply 'out there' and conjures up images of vast contrasts in landscape across vast distance. To those in the east it's out west, to those in the west it is somewhere back towards the east, while those in the north and south feel it is somewhere out there between them. This set of six proof coins commemorates that mystical, undefined area - Australia's Outback.
