| Reverse description | Two kookaburras (Dacelo novaeguineae), Australia's iconic laughing kingfisher, are depicted perched side by side on a bare branch, rendered in finely detailed high relief with precisely engraved feather texture. The larger bird faces left while the smaller companion faces right, both set against a deeply mirrored proof field. The denomination legend TEN DOLLARS arcs along the upper periphery in bold raised Latin lettering, with the engraver's initials HH appearing discreetly in the field. The composition is naturalistic in style, characteristic of the Australian wildlife series issued by the Royal Australian Mint. |
