Reverse description A finely detailed, naturalistic depiction of a koala (Phascolarctos cinereus) clinging to a vertical branch at centre, rendered in high relief with careful attention to the animal's distinctive rounded ears, prominent nose, and thick fur. The legend ENDANGERED WILDLIFE arcs across the upper field in two words flanking the central motif, while the denomination 50 DOLLARS appears in the lower portion of the field beneath the koala. The composition emphasises the vulnerability of the species, in keeping with the Endangered Wildlife commemorative series. The reverse field displays a polished proof finish contrasting with the frosted devices.
