Description

The Reverse

The reverse of the coin features a detailed image of a crocodile in its natural habitat. The powerful depiction of the animal symbolizes strength, resilience, and (in line with the official title of the series) the untamed wilderness of Australia. Every scale, every muscle is depicted with the utmost precision, highlighting the lifelike representation and high craftsmanship of this coin. As the first release of the “Untamed Landscapes” series, this design features the iconic saltwater crocodile, watchfully observing the shore, providing the perfect introduction to the series.

The Obverse

The obverse of the coin features a majestic portrait of King Charles III, designed by Dan Thorne – the so-called “Commonwealth Effigy,” surrounded by the inscriptions “CHARLES III,” “AUSTRALIA,” and the face value. The microstructure in the background is noteworthy as a security feature.
