Reverse description The reverse features a bold, highly detailed depiction of a crayfish (Southern Rock Lobster) rendered in high relief against a textured field evoking its natural coastal habitat, with rocks, aquatic vegetation, and seabed elements surrounding the creature. A directional sign bearing the legend 'KINGSTON' appears to the left of the design, referencing the South Australian town renowned for its iconic Big Lobster tourist landmark. The inscription 'THE BIG LOBSTER' is prominently placed in the upper right field in bold raised lettering. Stylised diagonal lines in the upper background suggest the structural form of the famous roadside attraction.
