The reverse presents the star of the series: a sleek manta ray rendered in rich color, wings outstretched as it glides across concentric, stylized wave lines. Around the scene sit the inscriptions “AUSTRALIAN SEA LIFE II – THE REEF” and “MANTA RAY,” while the Perth Mint “P” mintmark anchors the marine tableau and the designer's initials "WR" in tiny letters at the opposite.
