“ My art makes me feel I ’ m doing something good , helping us all move forward together . Knowing that the coins are bought by collectors all over the world tells me that they are learning about my culture .”
— Kevin Bynder on sharing his culture through art
KEVIN ’ S PICK
Kevin ’ s first work for an Australian coin portrayed an original painting of maali , the black swan .
It represented the gracious bird descending on water with a background formed by coloured dots inspired by a palette of ochre pigments – reds and browns for the landscape , blues , greens and other hues for the water .
STAFF PICKS
The Black Swan Maali 2022 2oz Silver Antiqued Coloured Coin received an enthusiastic reception , quickly selling out its full mintage .
Seeing his work on a coin for the first time pleased Kevin . “ It ’ s just a wonderful feeling and it meant a lot to me ,” he said . “ I ’ m still in awe whenever I see my art on coins .”
