| Reverse description | A highly detailed, proof-struck depiction of the Chimera, the fire-breathing hybrid beast of Greek mythology, portrayed with the fearsome head of a lion at the fore, the body and secondary head of a goat complete with two curved horns rising from the creature's back, and the sinuous tail of a serpent coiling behind. The design is rendered with fine sculptural detail against a mirrored proof field. The legend 'MYTHICAL CREATURES CHIMERA' appears in the upper field, flanked by the date '2025' and the Perth Mint's 'P' mintmark, with the engraver's initials 'NM' also present. |
