| Reverse description | A highly detailed, dynamic high-relief effigy of a basilisk — the legendary king of serpents — dominates the reverse field, depicted mid-flight with large membranous wings fully extended and a heavily scaled serpentine tail coiled beneath its taloned feet. The creature features a rooster's crested head with an open beak, a feathered mane, and reptilian body scales rendered with exceptional sculptural detail. To the lower left, a rocky mountain cave entrance is shown in relief, alluding to the creature's lair in classical mythology, with the designer's initials NM inscribed nearby. The arc legend MYTHICAL CREATURES BASILISK curves around the upper field, with the Perth Mint's P mintmark positioned to the right. |
