| Reverse description | The reverse displays the full armorial bearings of the State of Victoria centrally positioned in the field, featuring a shield charged with the Southern Cross on a dark ground, supported by two classical female figures robed in flowing drapery — one holding a laurel branch — surmounted by a crest comprising a crown and a deer, with a scrolled ribbon below bearing the motto PEACE AND PROSPERITY. The legend CENTENARY OF FEDERATION arcs across the upper periphery, while the dates 1901 and 2001 flank the shield at mid-field.
