| Reverse description | The right-facing portrait bust of Colonel William Light dominates the centre of the reverse, set against a detailed grid plan of early Adelaide as surveyed and designed by Light himself. The denomination 5 DOLLARS appears in the lower field, flanked by the dates 1786 and 1839 denoting his birth and death years. The legend COL. WILLIAM LIGHT curves along the upper periphery, with the designer's initials WP noted in the field. The composition commemorates Light's enduring legacy as the founder and surveyor-general responsible for the planned layout of Adelaide. |
