| Reverse description | The reverse presents a highly detailed, naturalistic high-relief depiction of two koalas amid eucalyptus foliage, shaped to follow the contour of the animals and their surroundings. An adult koala clings to a diagonal eucalyptus branch in the upper portion of the flan, its fur rendered with exceptional texture and realism in the antiqued finish. A juvenile koala sits nestled below and to the right, surrounded by sprays of eucalyptus leaves that frame the entire composition. The coin's irregular flan follows the silhouette of the koalas and foliage, enhancing the sculptural naturalism of the design. The date '2016' is incused in small characters at the lower right of the field. |
