Reverse
The coin´s reverse depicts a Saltwater Crocodile (Crocodylus porosus). The world´s largest reptile, a ´saltie´ is capable of growing to between six and seven metres and weighing up to 1,000 kilograms.

The reverse design includes the year-date and The Perth Mints´s traditional ´P´ mintmark.
