| Reverse description | A stylised Brolga (Antigone rubicunda), rendered in a distinctive 'Dreaming' or Aboriginal art-inspired graphic style, stands centrally in the field with its long neck raised and wings partially extended. The bird's skeletal and decorative patterning evokes traditional Australian Indigenous artistic motifs. The arc legend 'DISCOVER AUSTRALIA' appears along the upper periphery, while the lower field carries the inscriptions 'BROLGA', '1/10oz', '9995 PLATINUM', the Perth Mint 'P' mintmark, designer's initials 'DB', and the date '2009'. The overall composition is part of the Perth Mint's Discover Australia Dreaming series. |
