| Reverse description | A highly detailed, full-color applied image of an Australian goanna (Varanus gouldii) rendered in naturalistic tones of amber, ochre, and dark brown, depicted resting on rocky terrain with its distinctive blue forked tongue extended. The lizard is framed by a sculpted border of exotic reptile skin textures rendered in frosted relief, including large crocodilian scales and finer serpentine patterns, creating a rich decorative surround. The colorized central motif contrasts dramatically with the mirror-polished proof field. The inscription AUSTRALIAN GOANNA appears in two lines within the lower exergue in raised Latin letters. |
