Decsription
Colonial Australia was a dangerous place, with renegades known as Bushrangers roaming the roads and towns. The exploits of Australia's most notorius bushrangering gang; Ned Kelly with his companions Dan Kelly, Joe Byrne and Steve Hart are part of Australia's folklore. During a time of social and political unrest, the Kelly Gang with their iconic armour sparked a reputation that passed into Legend. With this four-coin set, The Royal Australian Mint remembers the nefarious Kelly Gang. Their anti-establishment stance; courage under fire and sympathy for the underdog, have become characteristic of the Australian "larrikin" identity.
