| Reverse description | The reverse presents a richly detailed composition featuring three iconic Australian fauna rendered in high relief against a stylised landscape field. A kookaburra perches prominently on a branch at the left, its plumage finely engraved; a kangaroo bounds across the middle ground in profile; and a koala faces the viewer in the lower centre, its fur rendered with exceptional texture. The series title AUSTRALIAN WILDLIFE arcs across the upper field in two lines. A horizontal band through the mid-field carries the inscriptions 2 OZ 9999 SILVER to the left and the date 2021 to the right, with the Perth Mint's P mintmark positioned at the far right of this band. |

The "6th portrait" designation marks the effigy introduced by Jody Clark for UK circulation coinage in 2015, subsequently adopted across Commonwealth mints — though the Perth Mint has applied it selectively, and its appearance on bullion wildlife issues has been inconsistent across years and series. This particular release sits within a sprawling Wildlife program that the Perth Mint has expanded aggressively since the early 2010s, partly in response to Chinese and Southeast Asian investor demand for two-troy-ounce silver issues at accessible premiums.
