| Reverse description | The central vignette presents a pastoral scene rendered in intaglio engraving, showing a shepherd tending a flock of sheep with trees and rural landscape in the background, symbolising Australia's wool industry. The sterling pound symbol '£1' appears in large form to the left of the vignette, with a blank oval panel to the right, all enclosed within an ornate guilloche border with scalloped outer edges. |
