| Reverse description | Full-length forward-facing figure of 'Lucy' (Australopithecus afarensis), depicted in an upright walking posture facing left, rendered in finely detailed relief against a shaded field evoking an archaic landscape. To the left of the central figure appears a schematic depiction of a hominid brain cast, accompanied by scattered fossilised bone fragments in the lower field. To the right, a detailed skeletal hand is shown. The curved arc legend EVOLUTION OF MANKIND surrounds the upper periphery, with the name 'LUCY' and the species identification AUSTRALOPITHECUS AFARENSIS inscribed in a recessed cartouche below the figure. The inscription 3,000,000 YEARS appears to the left mid-field, and the denomination AU 1/25 OZ CROWN is engraved at the base. |
