| Obverse description | A finely engraved central device depicting an emu standing to the left and a kangaroo rearing upright to the right, both rendered in naturalistic detail amid a ground of native grasses and foliage. The two animals face one another in a heraldic-style composition that anticipates the later Australian coat of arms. The legend 'W.J. TAYLOR' appears in small capitals at lower left and 'LONDON' at lower right within the field, below the central device. The coin is bordered by a toothed or milled inner rim. |
