2020 $1 Star Dreaming The Emu In The Sky Gugurmin 1/2oz Silver Coloured Uncirculated Coin

One of the most widespread Aboriginal constellations across Australia is the great Emu in the Sky. In Wiradjuri traditions of central New South Wales, the celestial emu is Gugurmin. When Gugurmin rises at dusk in Bangalang (Autumn), the birds are nesting and it's the season to collect their eggs for food. Male emus sit on the nests over Babang (Winter) and the chicks hatch in Yiraga (Spring), and are reared by the father emus. This coincides with coming-of-age ceremonies (Burbung), as represented by the young dancers.
