| Reverse description | A dynamic silhouette of a bounding kangaroo in full stride, depicted in high relief against a two-toned field divided horizontally to evoke the flat outback terrain; a traditional multi-vane windmill on a lattice tower appears in the left background. The ground line and shadow beneath the kangaroo add depth to the composition. The fineness inscription 1/5 OZ .9999 Au is incused vertically along the lower left inner border. |

| Additional information |
The Perth Mint's kangaroo bullion series has used an annually changing reverse design since 1989, a deliberate policy intended to discourage melting by giving each year's issue collector appeal beyond its gold content. The 2010 windmill pairing is among the more regionally specific compositions in the run, referencing inland Australian pastoral infrastructure rather than the coastline imagery that dominates the series.
