Reverse
Engraved by Horst Hahne
Description:
The reverse depicts a detailed portrait of Sarah Durack in a dynamic swimming pose cutting through flowing waves with powerful, rhythmic strokes and water splashes rendered a sense of speed and fluidity within a wreath of laurel. Beneath her, engraved her gold medal and her name. On the outer circle the legend series name read "AUSTRALIA'S 1st GOLD MEDALLISTS" on the top and the denomination "10 DOLLARS" is below. The designer's initials (HH) appear discreetly right.
