| Reverse description | The reverse presents a striking skeletal X-ray form of a saltwater crocodile (Crocodylus porosus) superimposed over a stylised outline map of Australia, with a highlighted region indicating the species' natural habitat across the tropical north of the continent. The anatomical rendering emphasises the reptile's skeletal structure and powerful jaw in fine engraved detail. The denomination 5 DOLLARS appears in the lower field, while the species' common name SALTWATER CROCODILE and scientific binomial Crocodylus porosus are inscribed within the design. The overall composition combines scientific illustration with geographic context in a modern numismatic aesthetic. |
