| Reverse description | The reverse presents a finely detailed proof scene depicting two bearded gold miners standing before a rudimentary timber-plank dwelling, evoking the Australian goldfields of the 1850s. The miner at left leans casually with arms at his sides, while the figure at right stands with arms folded, both wearing broad-brimmed hats and working attire. In the right foreground, mining implements including a shovel and a gold pan are rendered in high relief against the mirrored field. The curved legend 'THE GOLD RUSH ERA' arcs along the upper border, while the denomination '5 DOLLARS' appears in large numerals to the right of centre. |
