| Obverse description | The fourth portrait effigy of Queen Elizabeth II, sculpted by Ian Rank-Broadley, is depicted in right-facing profile bust, wearing the Girls of Great Britain and Ireland tiara. The legend ELIZABETH II arcs along the left field, with AUSTRALIA 2014 continuing along the right periphery, and the denomination 1 DOLLAR inscribed along the lower rim. The engraver's initials IRB appear below the truncation of the neck. The coin exhibits a deeply mirrored proof field contrasting with the frosted high relief of the portrait. |

| Reverse description | The reverse presents a bold commemorative composition divided into three horizontal registers, honouring the centenary of the first Australian Imperial Force convoy departing Albany in 1914. The upper portion of the field depicts a stylised silhouette of a camel — emblematic of Egypt and the Middle East — set against a densely packed array of troopships rendered in fine relief against a mirror-polished field. The central band bears the two-line inscription FROM ALBANY TO EGYPT / CENTENARY OF THE FIRST AIF CONVOY in bold incuse lettering. The lower register is filled with rows of uniformed Australian soldiers wearing broad-brimmed slouch hats, depicted in a repeating pattern conveying the scale of the wartime mobilisation. The engraver's monogram AB appears discreetly in the upper right field. |
