| Reverse description | Central field depicts a male gymnast performing on a pommel horse, rendered in high relief with dynamic musculature and athletic posture. To the left of the figure, a stylised outline map of Australia occupies the mid-field, referencing the host nation of the 2008 Olympic Games. The legend 'JEUX OLYMPIQUES 2008' arcs along the upper periphery in raised Latin lettering, and the year '2008' appears in the lower left field.
