| Obverse description | Central design depicts a tall coconut palm tree rising from a tropical shoreline, its fronds arching prominently across the upper field against a plain background. The lower portion of the field features a detailed coastal scene with sea and sandy beach rendered in low relief. The legend 'KEELING-COCOS Is' appears to the right of the palm in two lines, with the date '1968' inscribed along the lower rim. The entire design is molded in red plastic with the motifs rendered in a darker contrasting tone. The composition evokes the characteristic tropical landscape of the Cocos (Keeling) Islands. |
