| Reverse description | Stylised depiction of a dolphin rendered in an Australian Aboriginal-inspired 'Dreaming' design by Darryl Bellotti, occupying the full rectangular field. The dolphin's body is adorned with intricate overlapping scale-like semicircular patterns, while flowing curvilinear motifs evoking water, waves, and bubbles surround the figure in a dynamic composition. The Perth Mint's 'P' mintmark appears to the left of the design, and the engraver's initials 'DB' are discreetly placed in the lower right field. The tail of the dolphin extends toward the upper right corner, where decorative spiral elements complement the overall design. The entire reverse presents a unified artistic vision blending naturalistic and traditional indigenous aesthetic elements. |
