PRIDE OF AUSTRALIA
TWO HUNDRED DOLLARS
Description:
The reverse features a finely detailed Squirrel Glider perched on a tree branch. The animal is shown with alert posture, expressive facial details, pointed small ears, large eyes, delicate whiskers, and its large curved bushy tail rising dramatically behind the body, creating a balanced composition. Circular inscriptions frame the composition and emphasize the wildlife theme. The polished proof background creates a strong contrast, enhancing every detail of the fur and natural textures. The animal’s are accentuated with a contrasting insert, drawing attention and adding a lifelike sparkle. Engravings on this face identify the name of the series "PRIDE OF AUSTRALIA" around above, the face value in letters "TWO HUNDRED DOLLARS" inscribed close to the bottom rim.
