The coin’s reverse showcases a dynamic scene from outback Australia. Clockwise from the right, a dingo stands on a rocky perch. Two emus are positioned in the riverbed, one pausing to drink at the water’s edge. A snake lies coiled on a nearby rock, while a crocodile emerges from the water. Three kangaroos are depicted bounding across the terrain and a wedge-tailed eagle soars in flight above. The background features a rugged mountainous landscape extending across the horizon. The design includes The Perth Mint’s ‘P’ mintmark and 2026 year-date.
