| Reverse description | The reverse presents a richly detailed naturalistic scene depicting a platypus (Ornithorhynchus anatinus) moving along a riverbank, rendered in high relief with fine surface texture conveying the animal's dense fur. The creature is shown in three-quarter profile facing left, its distinctive duck-bill prominent, with its webbed forelimbs braced against the ground. The background features overhanging branches, ferns, and rippling water, all finely engraved with selective dark patination to enhance depth and contrast. A rectangular recessed panel at the lower edge of the square flan bears the Linnaean scientific name Ornithorhynchus anatinus in italic serif lettering. |
