| Obverse description | Right-facing effigy of Queen Elizabeth II wearing the Girls of Great Britain and Ireland tiara, a pearl drop earring, and a pearl necklace, as modelled by Raphael Maklouf for the third definitive portrait. The legend ELIZABETH II arcs along the left rim, AUSTRALIA along the right rim, and the date 1997 appears at the lower right. The engraver's initials RDM are incused on the truncation of the bust. The deeply mirrored proof field provides sharp contrast to the frosted relief of the portrait. |
