| Reverse description | The reverse features a vivid, richly colored ultra-high relief depiction of a thriving Great Barrier Reef ecosystem, presented in striking contrast to the obverse. The upper register displays the ocean surface with stylized waves and a clouded sky rendered in antique silver finish, below which a large school of brightly colored tropical fish — predominantly parrotfish in golden-orange hues — swims in formation across the mid-field. A sea turtle is visible to the right navigating through the water column, while the lower register presents an intricate array of coral formations, sea anemones, lionfish, starfish, sea urchins, and diverse reef organisms, all rendered in vivid polychrome coloring. The legend NATURE IN DANGER arcs across the upper field, with GREAT BARRIER REEF inscribed immediately below. The specifications 1 KG .999 AG appear in the lower-left field, and the engraver's signature P. Belmef is incised in the lower-right. |
