| Beschrijving keerzijde | A faithful numismatic interpretation of Russell Drysdale's iconic 1945 painting 'The Drover's Wife', rendered in high relief within a rectangular framed composition evoking a gallery presentation. The central figure depicts a stout woman wearing a wide-brimmed hat and loose dress, standing upright in an arid Australian landscape with sparse scrub visible at her feet and a horse partially visible at the right. The artist's name RUSSELL DRYSDALE is inscribed vertically along the left border, the title THE DROVER'S WIFE appears horizontally across the lower field, and the denomination 5 DOLLARS is placed to the lower right within the framed design. |

| Aanvullende informatie |
Russell Drysdale spent much of the 1940s documenting the human cost of severe drought across inland New South Wales, producing paintings that fundamentally shifted how Australians pictured their own interior. His work was controversial precisely because it refused picturesque readings of the outback. This coin belongs to the Royal Australian Mint's Masterpieces in Silver series, which reproduced artworks in low-relief on coinage — a technically demanding process given the tonal flatness of Drysdale's palette and the hard edges of his figures.
