| Reverse description | The reverse features a dual cartographic composition set against a mirror-proof field. To the left, a polished outline map of the Australian continent shows all state boundaries; to the right, an enlarged map of Queensland is rendered in frosted relief, its interior filled with the repeated word QUEENSLAND in closely packed horizontal rows, creating a striking typographic texture. The commemorative legend 150 YEARS OF STATE GOVERNMENT arcs along the upper periphery, while the denomination 5 DOLLARS appears in two lines at the lower centre of the field. |
