| Reverse description | The reverse features a vivid pad-printed depiction of a Surgeonfish (Paracanthurus hepatus) rendered in brilliant royal blue with a distinctive black body marking, a yellow tail fin, and a yellow ventral patch, oriented facing right across the field. The background is divided between a deep black matte section to the left and a mirror-polished proof field with concentric arc engravings to the right, evoking an underwater seascape. The bold legend THE REEF arcs across the upper left quadrant, with AUSTRALIAN SEA LIFE II inscribed above it in smaller lettering. The word SURGEONFISH is inscribed along the lower left in the matte field, and the Perth Mint P mintmark appears to the lower left of the fish. |
