| Reverse description | The reverse presents a vivid coloured depiction of the Royal Bluebell (Wahlenbergia gloriosa), the floral emblem of the Australian Capital Territory, rendered in deep magenta and pink tones against a dark proof field. Two blooms are shown at different stages — a fully open five-petalled flower dominating the upper field and a smaller, partially open blossom below — with green stems and buds providing naturalistic detail. The series legend DISCOVER AUSTRALIA arcs across the upper periphery, while ROYAL BLUEBELL is inscribed vertically along the right border. The weight and fineness designation 1/10 oz PLATINUM .9995 appears along the lower left arc, with the date 2006 inscribed at the base of the field. |
