| Reverse description | A detailed depiction of a Saltwater Crocodile (Crocodylus porosus) occupies the central field, set against a pad-printed color reproduction of a scenic landscape from Kakadu National Park in the Northern Territory. The denomination AUSTRALIA $1 appears within the legend, with NORTHERN TERRITORY inscribed below, and the Perth Mint privy mark P and the mint designation EM also present in the field. The color printing technique gives the reverse a vivid naturalistic quality evocative of the region's iconic wilderness. |

| Additional information |
Part of the Royal Australian Mint's long-running Territories series, this dollar was struck to spotlight the Northern Territory specifically because it remains the only major Australian jurisdiction never to have achieved full statehood — a political status debated since the 1980s and still unresolved. The pad-printing technique applied to the reverse allowed full-colour reproduction without a separate enamel inlay process, a method the RAM adopted for several commemorative dollars of this period to keep production costs manageable on relatively modest mintages.
