The position of a deep-sea predator in the stars tells Torres Strait islanders when to fish, plant crops and hunt for turtles. The shark constellation consists of stars in the big dipper and big bear (Ursa Major). Torres Strait Dauareb elder, Segar Passi’s artwork is featured in the design of this fine silver uncirculated coin. Indigenous Australians were the first astronomers and have long used the stars as maps and calendars.
