| Reverse description | A highly detailed, naturalistic depiction of the extinct Australian marsupial lion, Thylacoleo carnifex, dominates the reverse field, shown in a powerful lunging pose with jaws agape, occupying the right and upper portions of the design. A fossilized skull of the same species is rendered in relief in the lower left field, evoking the creature's prehistoric nature. A polished mirror-like disc in the background provides dramatic contrast to the finely engraved animal. The upper legend reads PREDATORS · THYLACOLEO CARNIFEX, with the word EXTINCT prominently inscribed on a banner below. The date 2020 appears in the left field, and the fineness mark .999 FINE SILVER 1 OZ is inscribed along the lower right periphery. |
