| Obverse description | Central design features a large, detailed starfish (sea star) in high relief, occupying the majority of the field, with a textured surface rendered in fine detail. Six five-pointed stars are distributed evenly around the periphery of the field. A serrated decorative border frames the inner design. The upper legend reads '5 ULURU KOOLAWALA' and the lower legend reads 'SOOPUN ISLAND 2009', with the initials 'AF' appearing discreetly in the lower field near the base of the starfish. |

| Additional information |
The "Soopun Island" designation places this piece firmly outside Australia's official coinage program — issues catalogued under the X# prefix in Krause are non-circulating locals, fantasy pieces, or private issues attributed to obscure or invented jurisdictions. No territory called Soopun Island exists within Australian administration. The Uluru tie-in and the 2009 date suggest a privately produced novelty, likely manufactured in bulk for the souvenir or collector novelty trade rather than any issuing authority.
