The term "Great Southern Land" refers to the majestic continent situated in the Southern Hemisphere, known today as Australia, home to more than 600,000 species of wildlife, many of which are endemic to the island nation. Some creatures have become national icons, while many less recognised and often unseen species take refuge during the daylight to awaken after dark.

Celebrating Australia's nocturnal species, the coin's reverse depicts (clockwise from the top) a crescent moon and stars, an Australian Tiger Moth, a Night Jar Owl, an Australian Christmas Beetle, a Marbled Gecko, a Spotted Quoll, a Night Parrot, a Lead Beater Possum, a Koala and a Ghost Bat. Also in the design are illustrations of Australian flora, along with The Perth Mint's 'P' mintmark and the coin's weight, purity, and 2026 year-date. The reverse design encircles an inlay crafted from matrix opal in the shape of Australia. A natural gemstone of the land, the opal is admired for its depth of appearance and iridescent colours which reveal themselves in the light.

Note: As each insert is crafted from natural opal, inherent variations in coloration and patterning are to be expected. Each coin in the mintage may display a unique appearance.
