Details:

The reverse design of the coin features the Coat of Arms of the Northern Territory granted by royal warrant of Queen Elizabeth II on 11 September 1978. The arms, uniquely in Australia, incorporate all of the territory's floral, animal and bird emblems: the Sturt's desert rose (Gossypium sturtianum), red kangaroo (Megaleia rufa) and wedge-tailed eagle (Aquila audax).

The Northern Territory's arms incorporate many reflections of the indigenous Australian culture and history: the shield itself is a representation of an Aboriginal painting of a woman with stylised internal anatomy, and the crest shows the wedge-tailed eagle on top of a tjurunga, an Aboriginal ritual stone.
