| Reverse description | The reverse features a richly detailed composite scene commemorating the Burke and Wills Expedition of 1860–61. At upper center, a large bearded portrait bust of Robert O'Hara Burke is depicted in high relief, while to the right a similarly rendered bust of William John Wills faces three-quarters left. In the middle ground, a full-length figure of an emaciated explorer stands amid rocky terrain, evoking the hardship of the ill-fated journey. At lower center, a seated exhausted figure rests against supplies, conveying the expedition's tragic conclusion. To the left, an engraved outline map of Australia traces the expedition's route, accompanied by the inscription DIG / 3FTW / AP21 referencing the famous cache message left at Depot Camp LXV. The legend THE BURKE & WILLS EXPEDITION arcs along the upper right rim. |
