| Beschrijving keerzijde | A Northern Hairy-Nosed Wombat (Lasiorhinus krefftii) depicted in naturalistic detail, foraging low to the ground amid grasses and sparse vegetation. The denomination '10' appears prominently in the lower left field, with 'DOLLARS' inscribed horizontally beneath the central motif. The legend 'NORTHERN HAIRY-NOSED WOMBAT' curves vertically along the right periphery. The deeply mirrored proof fields and frosted relief characteristic of the piedfort issue enhance the contrast between the animal's textured fur and the polished background. |

| Aanvullende informatie |
The piedfort format — struck at twice the standard planchet thickness — originated in medieval France as a way to produce presentation-quality pieces for assay and official gift purposes. Australia adopted the format sporadically for commemorative issues in the late 1990s, and the additional silver mass in this piece is a direct consequence of that tradition rather than any design requirement.
The southern hairy-nosed wombat had been listed as vulnerable under Australian federal legislation by the time this coin was issued, its population having declined sharply due to drought cycles and habitat clearance across South Australia.
