| Reverse description | The reverse features a stylized, geometric close-up portrait of a Rainbow Lorikeet (Trichoglossus moluccanus) rendered in vivid holographic color, with the bird's head and upper body occupying the majority of the central field. The plumage is depicted in bold faceted triangular segments showcasing iridescent blues, greens, yellows, oranges, and reds characteristic of the species, with a prominent curved orange-red beak and a ringed eye at center. The design is executed using a prismatic holographic color application technique, lending the image a striking luminescent quality. The arc legend PACIFIC WILDLIFE runs along the upper periphery, with the date 2006 positioned centrally below it. |
