Description:
The reverse depicts a muscular athlete running "Edwin Flack" forward wearing an athletic uniform. His defined arms, bent leg, and forward stride create a vivid sense of motion. Forward him a flaming Olympic torch within a wreath of laurel. Beneath him, engraved his name accompanied by date, the first Olympic champion in the 800 metres and the 1500 metres running events. On the outer circle the legend series name reads "AUSTRALIA'S 1st GOLD MEDALLISTS" on the top and the denomination "10 DOLLARS" curves along the lower edge. This vivid portrayal symbolizes strength, speed, and the universal spirit of competition that unites nations. The designer's initials (HH) appear discreetly below left.
