| Reverse description | The reverse depicts two brush-tailed possums resting atop a lamington — the iconic Australian coconut-and-chocolate sponge cake — referencing the 'Lamingtons are Magical' episode from Mem Fox's beloved children's picture book 'Possum Magic'. A cluster of small stars rises from the left possum's snout in a magical arc, with additional stars scattered across the lower field, evoking the enchantment central to the story's narrative. The legend 'POSSUM MAGIC' arcs along the upper periphery in stylised lettering, while the denomination '1 DOLLAR' is inscribed in the lower field. The design is executed in a charming illustrative style consistent with the other coins in the Possum Magic series. |
