| Reverse description | A richly detailed naturalistic scene depicts a Thylacine (Tasmanian Tiger, Thylacinus cynocephalus) standing in profile amid a dense Tasmanian rainforest environment. The animal, rendered in selective gold plating, stands out dramatically against the deeply contrasted dark nickel-plated field, which is engraved with intricate tree trunks, fern fronds, foliage, and forest undergrowth in high relief. The Thylacine's characteristic striped hindquarters and canid-like head are clearly delineated by the gilding. The legend TASMANIAN TIGER is inscribed along the lower rim in incuse lettering. The overall composition conveys a sense of the animal's rarity and its extinct status within a hauntingly atmospheric bush setting. |
