| Reverse description | The reverse presents a stylised Aboriginal Dreamtime depiction of a platypus rendered in a flowing, sinuous composition by engraver Darryl Bellotti. The platypus body is delineated by bold incised lines, dotted patterns, and parallel hatchings evocative of traditional Indigenous Australian art forms, with the distinctive duck-bill and rounded body clearly rendered in the lower portion of the field. Surrounding aquatic and organic elements fill the rectangular field with curvilinear motifs suggesting water and natural habitat. The Perth Mint mintmark P appears in the upper left corner of the field, and the engraver's initials DB are situated in the lower right. The design occupies the full rectangular flan, creating a striking interplay between the polished gold ground and the incised decorative elements. |
