| Reverse description | The reverse features a stylised depiction of the Tasmanian Tiger (thylacine) playfully interacting with a large, prominently displayed letter T, as part of the Royal Australian Mint's Alphabet Collection series. The thylacine is rendered in a colourful, child-friendly illustrative style applied via pad printing technology over the struck aluminium bronze surface. The letter T dominates the central field, with the animal motif integrated into the composition to reinforce the thematic pairing of creature and letter. |

| Additional information |
The Alphabet Collection was issued by the Royal Australian Mint across 2015–2017, producing twenty-six circulating dollar coins, each pad-printed with a letter and an associated animal. Pad printing on circulating coinage is mechanically awkward — the ink sits proud of the metal and wears rapidly, making uncirculated survivors far more representative of the original issued appearance than anything pulled from a cash register drawer.
