| Reverse description | A large koala clinging to a eucalyptus tree dominates the right side of the field, rendered in fine detail with its characteristic rounded ears and dense fur. To the left, a historical vignette depicts the raising of the British Union flag at Sydney Cove, with soldiers, a settler, sailing ships in the harbour, and a wooded shoreline in the background. The inscription 'SYDNEY COVE' appears in the lower centre of the inner field, with 'FINE SILVER 1 OUNCE' and the denomination 'CROWN' inscribed below along the bottom border. The commemorative legend '1788 · BICENTENARY OF AUSTRALIA · 1988' runs around the upper periphery, separated from the inner design by a beaded border. |
