| Reverse description | A naturalistically rendered kangaroo in full leap is depicted in high relief at the centre of the field, bounding to the left with forelegs tucked and powerful hind legs extended. The legend ONE DOLLAR arcs along the upper periphery, while 1 OUNCE FINE SILVER is inscribed along the lower border. The Canberra mint mark C appears to the right of the device, accompanied by the engraver's initials HH. The frosted relief of the kangaroo contrasts with the mirror or satin-finished field, characteristic of this bullion issue. |
