Margaret Preston was among the most deliberately nationalist voices in Australian art — she spent decades advocating for Indigenous motifs as the foundation of a distinctly Australian visual culture, a position that made her both influential and, in later critical reassessment, controversial. The Royal Australian Mint's Masterpieces in Silver series used her work as source material, translating a painter's idiom into struck silver at a moment when Australian commemorative coinage was increasingly leaning on fine arts licensing rather than historical subjects.
KM#864 is one of several issues in this multi-release series, each tied to a different Australian artist.
