| Reverse description | A dynamic high-relief depiction of a male hurdler in mid-stride clears a hurdle, his body fully extended in athletic form occupying the majority of the field. Stylized track lines recede diagonally from the lower left toward the right, conveying speed and perspective. A kangaroo, emblematic of the host nation Australia, is shown running along the track lines in the lower right field.
