| Beschrijving keerzijde | The central design features the oversized roadside tourist attraction known as the Big Mango, a large sculptural mango rendered in high relief, situated on its characteristic display plinth bearing the inscription BOWEN. Surrounding the centrepiece are a series of regional vignettes evoking the character of Bowen, Queensland: a touring coach to the left, a tropical palm tree in the foreground, a mountain range in the background, a winding highway to the right, a local heritage building, and a circular sun in the upper right field. The legend THE BIG MANGO arcs prominently across the upper portion of the field in mixed-case lettering. A small designer's initial mark appears at lower right. |

| Aanvullende informatie |
Part of the Royal Australian Mint's ongoing "Treasures of Australia" program, this dollar marks Mango season and the town of Bowen, Queensland — home to the 10-metre fibreglass Big Mango roadside attraction erected in 2002. The Big Things are a distinctly Australian phenomenon dating to the 1960s tourism boom, when oversized sculptures became a reliable draw along long inland highway routes. Bowen's version briefly went missing in 2014 — stolen overnight — before being recovered within days, generating international press coverage wildly disproportionate to the object's cultural significance.
