2011 $2 First Crossing of the Simpson Desert 1oz Silver Proof Coin

2011 $2 First Crossing of the Simpson Desert 1oz Silver Proof CoinA largely unheralded achievement, Colson trekked by camel from Blood Creek northwest of Oodnadatta to Birdsville, and back again, in just 36 days, covering nearly 900km of mostly unexplored, inhospitable terrain. Graced with a fine portrait of this burly, cheerful, unassuming Aussie pioneer, this crown sized 38. 61mm full colour coin captures perfectly both the hypnotic beauty and hostile nature of the foreboding Australian hinterland he crossed.
