Description:
On the reverse side of the coin, the Kangaroo Paw is beautifully depicted in full bloom, with the intricate petals of the flower rendered in stunning detail. The artist captures the texture and form of the plant, allowing the viewer to appreciate the delicate structure and vibrant colors of the flower, which have been faithfully translated into metal through the proof minting process. the designer's initials (HH) are also incorporated into the design at the right side and the face value is inscribed close to the bottom rim. The design is framed by an elegant, scalloped inner border on both sides, which beautifully catches the light against the mirror-like proof fields.
