| Reverse description | A highly detailed, naturalistic depiction of a Great White Shark (Carcharodon carcharias) dominates the field, shown in dynamic upward motion with jaws agape, revealing multiple rows of teeth. Two smaller fish are rendered in the background field, conveying depth and marine environment, accompanied by a cluster of air bubbles. The arc legend DISCOVER AUSTRALIA appears along the upper periphery, while GREAT WHITE SHARK 1/2oz. 9999 GOLD is inscribed along the lower periphery. The date 2007 and the Perth Mint's P mintmark appear in the lower right field, with the designer's initials RV visible to the left of the shark. |
