The reverse of the coin features the Coat of Arms of the Commonwealth of Australia, as granted by King George V by Royal Warrant on 19 September 1912. It is composed of a shield divided into six parts, each containing a representation of the badge of a State: - New South Wales - the Cross of St George with lion and stars - Victoria - the Southern Cross - Queensland - a Maltese Cross and Crown - South Australia - the Australian piping shrike bird - Western Australia - a black swan - Tasmania - a walking lion
The shield is supported by a kangaroo and an emu standing on a grassy mound accompanied by small branches of golden wattle. A seven-point gold Commonwealth Star sits above the shield. Six of the star’s points represent the Australian states and the seventh point represents the territories.
The P mint mark of the Perth Mint is to the right. In the background, floral decoration and a ribbon below the shield inscribed AUSTRALIA.
