Coloured Reverse Design
The main design, which appears within the outline of Antarctica, is symbolic of the site of Davis Station on the coast of the ice-free Vestfold Hills. The coloured image also portrays the ice breaker Kista Dan, which was instrumental in the establishment of both Davis and Mawson Stations. The design incorporates the inscriptions ‘DAVIS STATION: 1957-2007’, ‘Australian Antarctic Territory’ and The Perth Mint’s traditional ‘P’ mintmark.
Australian Legal Tender
Issued as legal tender under the Australian Currency Act 1965, the coin’s obverse depicts the Ian Rank-Broadley effigy of Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II.
