| Reverse description | The reverse presents a stylised depiction of two Brolgas (Antigone rubicunda), Australia's iconic native crane, rendered in an artistic style incorporating traditional Aboriginal dot-work patterns in green and brown hues applied by pad printing. The birds are shown in a dynamic, elongated composition occupying the majority of the field. The legend 'DISCOVER AUSTRALIA' arcs along the upper rim, while the inscriptions '2009 BROLGA 1/2 OZ 9995 PLATINUM' appear along the lower portion of the field.
