2022 BEAUTY, RICH & RARE
Description:
The reverse of the coin is convex and features a depiction of looking up at the beautiful Great Barrier Reef. Bottom view wide angle background maritime natural wonder. A shark swimming and sunlight filtering through water and a colorful swirling school of fish stretching across the motive through the Great Barrier Reef and some of different types of shells with a fish along with other inhabitants of the Coral Reef. All around, the inscriptions: "GREAT BARRIER REEF" - the name of the coin, "BEAUTY, RICH & RARE" - the name of the series, "2022" - the year of issue and "5$" - the face value of the coin. The domed shape of the silver coin adds depth to the design, creating a particularly realistic effect.
