| Reverse description | The reverse depicts a naturalistically rendered bottlenose dolphin leaping dynamically to the right above a stylised ocean surface, with a setting sun rendered as a partial circle on the horizon in the background. Fine detail is applied to the dolphin's body, conveying its smooth skin and athletic form in high relief against the polished field. The legend 'BOTTLENOSE DOLPHIN' curves along the upper periphery, while the bullion specification '1 oz .999 FINE SILVER' is inscribed in a straight line along the lower field. The overall composition evokes the marine environment of Australian coastal waters. |

| Additional information |
The Royal Australian Mint's ongoing Australian Dolphin series has drawn consistent collector interest partly because of genuine conservation policy entanglement — the Indo-Pacific bottlenose dolphin (*Tursiops aduncus*) is subject to specific federal protection under Australia's Environment Protection and Biodiversity Conservation Act, giving these issues a bureaucratic authenticity that most wildlife bullion programs lack. The 2019 release sits mid-series, after the program had already established secondary market premiums well above spot.
