| Reverse description | A large kangaroo in full mid-leap bounds to the right, depicted in bold, naturalistic relief that dominates the coin's field. The design, by George Kruger Gray, renders the animal with careful anatomical detail including the powerful hind legs, elongated tail serving as a counterbalance, and alert head with upright ears. The engraver's initials 'KG' appear in small characters to the lower left of the kangaroo, and a six-pointed star is positioned to the right in the field. The legend 'AUSTRALIA' arcs above the central device, while 'HALF PENNY' curves along the lower periphery, with the date flanking the kangaroo below. |
