| Reverse description | The centre of the reverse displays the numeral '2' above the inscription 'DOLLARS', with the year of issue below. Surrounding this central denomination panel is a circular legend reading 'TWO HUNDRED CENTS' on the upper arc and 'ONE HUNDRED PENCE' on the lower arc, expressing the coin's value in three concurrent monetary systems. The design is framed by a plain inner circle and an outer dentillated border, presenting a clean and authoritative typographic layout typical of Victorian colonial gold coinage. |
