| Reverse description | Central field bears the word AUSTRALIA in bold raised lettering, surmounted by a finely detailed St. Edward's Crown. The central motif is framed by a wreath composed of banksia and eucalyptus branches, tied at the base with a ribbon bow, referencing the Australian colonial context of the issue. The legend SYDNEY MINT arcs along the upper periphery, while ONE SOVEREIGN curves along the lower periphery, both set within a dentilated border. The overall design is austere and heraldic, reflecting the mint's role as Britain's first overseas branch mint. |
