| Reverse description | A naturalistically rendered dingo stands in profile facing left atop a rocky outcrop, occupying the central field in high relief against a frosted background. The arc legend DISCOVER AUSTRALIA curves across the upper field, with the date 2008 positioned to the right. The Perth Mint's P mintmark appears below the animal's feet. Along the lower periphery, the inscription DINGO 1/10 OZ. 9999 GOLD confirms the coin's subject, weight, and fineness. The design is attributed to Stuart Devlin and exemplifies the fine detail characteristic of the Discover Australia proof series. |

| Additional information |
Part of Perth Mint's Australian Bullion Coin program, which expanded aggressively in the 2000s as gold demand from Asian markets — particularly China — pushed the mint to diversify its fractional offerings beyond the flagship Kangaroo series. The dingo subjects were introduced partly to attract collectors who had exhausted the standard fauna rotation.
Ian Rank-Broadley's fourth portrait of Elizabeth II, adopted by Australia in 1999, was already nine years into circulation by this strike.
