| Reverse description | The reverse presents a vivid colored depiction of an adult Asian elephant and its calf in close proximity, their trunks touching affectionately in the foreground. The highly detailed colorization renders the animals in naturalistic tones of brown, ochre, and grey, with the calf's blue eye and the adult's green eye rendered as focal points. Large tropical leaves, rendered in uncolored relief, frame the upper portion of the composition against a mirror-polished field. The Perth Mint's 'P' mintmark appears to the left of the design, and the inscription ASIAN ELEPHANT is incused along the lower rim. The reverse was designed by Ing Ing Jong. |
