| Reverse description | The reverse displays a heraldic composition centred on a quartered shield bearing the arms of New South Wales, supported on the dexter by an emu and on the sinister by a kangaroo, both rendered in bold relief. A radiant sun rises above the shield's chief. Below the supporters, a scrolling ribbon banner carries the inscription ADVANCE AUSTRALIA. The arc legend PEACE & PLENTY runs along the upper periphery between the beaded border, and the date 1857 is prominently placed in the lower field beneath the central device. |
