ONE DOLLAR
RT
1 OUNCE OF FINE SILVER
Description:
Within a plain border on a background representing an Australian landscape with grassy hills and "grass trees", the design Kangaroo bounding to left looks like a cave drawing with its primal lines and markings. The detail on this kangaroo is phenomenal and definitely honors the history of his people. Among the kangaroo and the random markings around it, "one dollar" and "1 ounce of fine silver" are also inscribed on the reverse. Below right, the designer's initials (RT).
