| Reverse description | At the centre of the field, the word AUSTRALIA is displayed beneath a florid royal crown, the whole enclosed within a wreath of laurel branches tied at the base. The legend SYDNEY MINT arcs across the upper field outside the wreath, while the denomination ONE SOVEREIGN is inscribed in the lower field below the wreath. The design is framed by a beaded border and reflects the distinctive typology created for the newly established Sydney Mint, emphasising Australia's colonial identity as an issuing authority. |
