The effigy of Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II facing right. ELIZABETH II AUSTRALIA 1oz 9999 Ag 2021 1 DOLLAR

Description reverse

The Winged Victory coin’s reverse portrays an Art Deco style interpretation of Nike. Her muscular figure, symbolising strength, is seen kneeling as she honours an unseen hero with a victory laurel in the palm of her right hand. She holds a sword in a non-threatening position low on her left side as a gesture of respect. In a magnificent design flourish, Nike’s figure is enveloped in a beautifully symmetrical representation of her feathered wings. As well as the inscription WINGED VICTORY, the reverse also incorporates The Perth Mint’s ‘P’ mintmark.
