| Reverse description | A highly detailed, full-colour depiction of a Green Tree Python (Morelia viridis) coiled upon itself in a characteristic resting posture, rendered in vivid greens with yellow highlights along the ventral scales and scattered white dorsal spots. The python's head is prominently positioned to the left, displaying its characteristic angular snout, amber eye with vertical pupil, and forked tongue extended into the field. The background features an uncoloured, finely engraved representation of reptilian scales and foliage in the field, providing textural contrast to the coloured central motif. The species name GREEN TREE PYTHON is inscribed in two lines within the lower field in serif capitals. The coin is struck to proof quality with a frosted relief against a mirror field. |

| Additional information |
The Green Tree Python dollar is part of Perth Mint's long-running Australian Reptiles series, which has drawn consistent collector interest for its unusually high silver fineness — .9999 rather than the .999 standard used by most silver bullion issues. The series was developed partly to compete with the Royal Canadian Mint's fine silver program, which had successfully captured a segment of the Asian collector market through similar wildlife themes in the early 2010s.
