| Reverse description | The reverse is divided into three panels showcasing iconic Australian fauna in high relief against a brushed field. At upper left, a Laughing Kookaburra (Dacelo novaeguineae) is depicted perched on a fence post, its head tilted upward with fine feather detailing. At upper right, a Red Kangaroo (Macropus rufus) strides mid-leap across a stylised outback landscape with sparse scrub vegetation. At lower centre, a close-up portrait of a Koala (Phascolarctos cinereus) fills the panel with detailed fur texture. The legend AUSTRALIAN WILDLIFE arcs across the upper field, with the specifications 2oz 9999 SILVER and the date 2023 inscribed horizontally across the mid-field, flanked by the designer's initials NH at left and the Perth Mint P mintmark at right. |
