| Reverse description | A highly detailed, naturalistic depiction of a coiled King Brown Snake (Pseudechis australis) occupies the central field, its scales rendered in fine raised relief against a dark proof background. Sparse native Australian flora, including small star-shaped flowers and grasses, surrounds the reptile at the base of the design. The arc legend DISCOVER AUSTRALIA appears above along the rim, while the year 2008 is inscribed in the upper field.
