Territory Treasures: Our Search for Kilwa Coins and other Centuries Old Artefacts in Australia’s Top End

The discovery of medieval African coins in Arnhem Land from Tanzania is a great mystery. The coins were found by an Australian serviceman during World War2. Since 2013, the authors have been searching for clues on this rare discovery. By what means, and how did these coins find their way to Arnhem Land 10,000km away. This book offers a range of hypotheses and demonstrates that the Yolngu of Arnhem land were involved in maritime trading well before the arrival of the Macassan trepangers during the 1700s.
