| Reverse description | The reverse features a vivid pad-printed coloured panorama of an Australian outback plain, depicting two kangaroos grazing among wildflowers with a rural homestead visible in the background. The design evokes the imagery of Dorothea Mackellar's celebrated poem, with the inscription I LOVE A SUNBURNT COUNTRY rendered in the upper field and the continuation ...A land of sweeping plains appearing below. The Perth Mint's P mintmark appears in the lower right field, accompanied by the designer's copyright mark © DME and the engraver's initials NM. The coloured artwork fills the central field of the rectangular flan, creating a striking contrast between the decorative image and the inscribed legends. |

| Additional information |
Part of a long-running Perth Mint series drawing on the Australian national anthem, this coin uses pad printing — an industrial transfer process borrowed from promotional merchandise manufacturing — to apply colour directly onto the struck surface. Perth adopted the technique aggressively in the 2010s as a way to differentiate bullion-adjacent collector issues without the cost of enamel inlay. The process is durable under normal handling but remains sensitive to prolonged UV exposure.
