Astronomy is one of the oldest sciences and in 2009 we celebrate globally the 400th anniversary of Galileo’s first astronomical observation through a telescope. The vision of the International Year of Astronomy is helping people rediscover their place in the universe with a strong emphasis on education, public engagement and involvement from young people of all communities.

Produced to complement the 2009 6-coin proof year set, the twin proof set makes available the coins that aren’t available through the 6-coin proof set: the specially themed 20-cent design and the Five Kangaroos $1 coin, both in a stunning proof finish.
