| Reverse description | Finely detailed three-quarter facing bust portrait of Sir Howard Florey, the Australian Nobel laureate pharmacologist, depicted wearing spectacles and a surgical collar, occupying the left and central portion of the field. To the upper right, the denomination numeral 1 is prominently displayed above the word DOLLAR in bold capital letters, with the engraver's monogram visible below. The inscription HOWARD FLOREY CENTENARY arcs along the lower exergue in italic lettering, commemorating the centenary of his birth. The deeply mirrored proof fields accentuate the frosted sculptural relief of the portrait against the polished background. |
