| Reverse description | A dynamic scene depicting six touring cars racing along the undulating circuit of Mount Panorama, Bathurst, with stylised gum trees rendered in the background evoking the Australian bush setting. The composition captures the drama of the Great Race in profile, with the vehicles positioned across the mid-field of the coin. Colour is applied via pad-printing technique to enhance the visual impact of the cars and surrounding landscape. The commemorative legend arcs around the upper and lower periphery, with the engraver's initials 'LA' present in the field. The overall design celebrates the 60th anniversary of the Bathurst 1000. |
