Description:
The reverse dives beneath the Southern Ocean, where a humpback whale glides with a calf at its side, the adult’s long pectoral fins, pleated throat grooves, and barnacled hide engraved in fine texture. Broken pack ice drifts across the surface above the pair, grounding the scene in Antarctic waters. 2019 HUMPBACK WHALE arcs across the top, AUSTRALIAN ANTARCTIC TERRITORY sweeps the lower border, and the P mintmark of Perth sits in the right field and the designers initials “NH” appearing., all framed by a ribbed outer ring that gives the coin a distinctive machined edge.
