| Reverse description | A richly detailed, colored antiqued scene commemorating the hybrid solar eclipse visible over Ningaloo Reef, Western Australia in April 2023. The upper portion of the field depicts a dramatic total solar eclipse — the darkened lunar disc surrounded by a luminous corona rendered in violet and grey tones — set against a heavily textured, cloud-streaked sky. In the middle ground, a humpback whale glides gracefully beneath the eclipse, its pale underside contrasting with the darkened waters. In the foreground, a large whale shark (Rhincodon typus) dominates the lower field, swimming above a colorfully rendered coral reef ecosystem with sea anemones, corals, and rocks highlighted in green and blue. The Perth Mint 'P' mintmark appears to the left of the eclipse disc, and the engraver's initials 'SR' are visible near the whale shark. No inscriptions appear on the reverse. |
