Marking 400 years (in 2016) since Dirk Hartog and the crew of the Eendracht made history as the first recorded European visitors to land on Australian shores, this coin is inspired by the inscribed pewter plate noting their arrival. Symbolic of European- Australian histories, another chapter in the Australia and Dutch East India Company history is told. A great addition for history buffs and numismatists alike.
