| Reverse description | A standing dingo depicted in high relief at left, set against a vividly pad-printed Australian outback landscape featuring characteristic red desert sands, sparse tussock grasses, and prominent sandstone rock formations reminiscent of Uluru in the background under a colourful sky. The inscriptions 'DINGO' and '1OZ 999 SILVER' appear in the upper right field, with the date '2016' at lower right. The Perth Mint 'P' mintmark is visible at lower left. The entire design is struck in the outline shape of the Australian continent. |

| Additional information |
Pad printing on bullion — applying ink directly to the coin's surface rather than using colored enamels or inserts — was still a relatively novel finishing technique for Perth Mint in the mid-2010s, and this dingo dollar sits squarely in that experimental period. The process allows photographic-quality color detail but has drawn scrutiny from collectors regarding long-term adhesion and archival stability, questions the mint has never fully put to rest.
