All Australian Coins have distinctly Australian themes on the reverse. The Australian Two Dollar coin has a bust of an Australian Aborigine "One Pound Jimmy" from an engraving by Ainslie Roberts, the Southern Cross, a constellation visible from all over Australia, and the Grass Tree (Xanthorrhoea) which is found in all states of Australia.
