| Beschrijving keerzijde | A stylised Aboriginal-art-inspired depiction of a Tasmanian Devil is rendered in the field, shown in profile facing right with distinctive dot and line decorative elements evoking traditional Australian Indigenous artistic motifs. The animal's characteristic broad head, open jaw, and stocky body are clearly delineated in the design. The legend 'DISCOVER AUSTRALIA' arcs along the upper periphery, while '2011 TASMANIAN DEVIL 1/25 oz 9999 GOLD' runs along the lower periphery. The Perth Mint's 'P' mintmark appears to the right of the central device. |

| Aanvullende informatie |
Australia's Tasmanian devil series from Perth Mint arrived just as the real animal was facing potential extinction — the Devil Facial Tumour Disease, a contagious cancer first observed in 1996, had by 2011 wiped out an estimated 70–80% of the wild population. The species was listed as endangered in 2008. Whether the timing was deliberate conservation commentary or commercial opportunism is a reasonable question.
The 1/25 oz fractional format was part of Perth's push into sub-gram gold bullion during this period, targeting collectors priced out of larger denominations.
