| Reverse description | A finely detailed high-relief depiction of a platypus swimming dynamically in an underwater setting, its body rendered in naturalistic detail with outstretched webbed feet and distinctive duck-bill visible in profile. Above the animal, a cluster of broad lily pad leaves floats at the water's surface, their veined surfaces rendered with botanical precision. The legend 'AUSTRALIAN PLATYPUS' arcs along the upper periphery, the date '2021' appears in the lower field, and the Perth Mint's 'P' mintmark is discretely placed to the right of the central design within the field. |
