John Flynn (founder of Frontier Services) is on the reverse with features of the Royal Flying Doctor Service of Australia of a De Havilland DH.50 biplane Victory supplied by Qantas, a representation of the pedal wireless invented by Alfred Hermann Traeger, Coledge Harland (the man on the camel), who was a missionary to the inland people of Australia (Australian Inland Mission which later became Frontier Services).

A noticeable difference between the old and new designs is the replacement of Victory with a depiction of a de Havilland Dragon Rapide taking off from a remote homestead in Broken Hill.
