NH
Description:
The reverse design is the main artistic highlight, showcasing one of Australia’s most iconic or beloved wildlife species. While specific designs vary between series and years, it features a beautifully detailed animal—such as the kangaroo, koala, kookaburra—captured in its natural habitat. The wildlife image is intricately sculpted, with lifelike textures on fur, feathers, or scales, set against a complementary landscape or background that evokes the vastness and uniqueness of the Australian outback. Surrounding the main design are inscriptions indicating the coin’s weight, purity, year of issue, and the word “WILDLIFE,” uniting it with the larger series theme. The Perth Mint’s ‘P’ mintmark is also included in the design can be found on the right-hand side, with the initials of the designer (NH) appearing at the opposite.
