| Reverse description | The reverse features a finely detailed rendering of a feathertail glider (Acrobates pygmaeus), an arboreal Australian marsupial, shown clinging to a branch with its distinctive feather-like tail curving prominently to the left. The large numeral 1 occupies the centre-left field, partially overlaid by the animal's body. The designer's initials SD, for Stuart Devlin, appear to the right of the denomination. The composition fills the field with naturalistic detail characteristic of Devlin's work on the Australian decimal coin series. |
