| Obverse description | The third effigy of Queen Elizabeth II, as sculpted by Raphael Maklouf, faces right wearing the King George IV State Diadem and draped in regal attire. The legend ELIZABETH II arcs along the upper periphery, with AUSTRALIA and the date 1996 inscribed below, flanked by the designer's initials RDM in the field. The portrait is rendered in high relief against a finely frosted field, consistent with the bullion coin presentation standard of the Royal Australian Mint. |

| Reverse description | The central device depicts a female kangaroo in an upright, alert posture with a joey at her side attempting to enter her pouch, the pair rendered in high frosted relief against a brilliantly mirrored field. The legend ONE DOLLAR arcs along the upper periphery, with the mint mark C to the left and the designer's initials HH to the right in the mid-field. Along the lower periphery, the inscription 1 OUNCE FINE SILVER certifies the coin's bullion content. The naturalistic rendering captures the characteristic anatomy and movement of the Australian kangaroo with fine sculptural detail. |
