| Reverse description | A highly detailed, realistic bust of a thylacine (Tasmanian tiger, Thylacinus cynocephalus) rendered in right-facing profile dominates the central field, its jaws open to display characteristic dentition, set against a textured background of stylised foliage. Overlapping the animal's open maw in the lower left field is a finely engraved thylacine cranial skull, reinforcing the extinction theme. The arc legend PREDATORS · THYLACINUS CYNOCEPHALUS runs along the upper border, with the word EXTINCT prominently inscribed on a banner beneath it. The date 2021 appears to the left, and the inscription .999 FINE SILVER 1 OZ is engraved along the lower field. |
