Reverse
Engraved by Horst Hahne
Description:
The reverse features a close-up detailed portrait of a swimmer Murray Rose captured swimming the butterfly breathing, cutting through flowing waves with powerful, rhythmic strokes. Beneath him, a flaming Olympic torch within a wreath of laurel, his name left of him and the designer's initials (HH) appear discreetly at the opposite. 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.
