Sassanian drachms (which make up 99% of Sassanian coins one comes across) are often struck on thin flans, where there is not enough metal thickness to fill the dies. This often results in weak area on one side, which mirror the high points directly opposite on the other side (this is common on many European medieval coins as well). One should view an example with minor weak areas as normal. Coins that are well struck on both sides should be viewed as superior example worth a premium.

The coin's reverse portrays Phillip Island. Located 124 kilometres south of Melbourne, the island was once occupied by the Bunurong aboriginal people. European settlers used it for fishing, sheep farming and to grow chicory. The Islands popularity among Victorians took off in the 1920s with the aid of ferry services, while the contrasting attractions presented by spectacular wildlife and motor racing helped it to national and international fame.

Under the command of Willem Janszoon, the ship's crew charted 320 kilometres of the coast around the modern town of Weipa, literally putting Australia on the map.
