| Obverse description | Right-facing effigy of Queen Elizabeth II wearing the Girls of Great Britain and Ireland tiara, as modelled by Ian Rank-Broadley for the fourth definitive portrait. The Queen is depicted with pearl drop earrings, her mature features rendered in fine detail against a frosted field. The engraver's initials 'IRB' appear below the truncation of the neck. The surrounding legend reads 'ELIZABETH II' to the left and 'AUSTRALIA 2017' to the right, with the denomination '1 DOLLAR' along the lower arc, all separated by raised dot stops. |

| Reverse description | The reverse features the large pad-printed letter 'Q' in teal, rendered in a bold serif style and superimposed over a finely engraved depiction of a quokka (Setonix brachyurus), the small Australian marsupial shown in three-quarter facing pose with characteristic rounded ears and compact body amid a naturalistic scrubland setting. The inner border is decorated with an ornamental scrollwork pattern of repeated stylised curves and beaded dots, framing the central design. The composition skillfully integrates the coloured letter with the relief-engraved animal motif, characteristic of the Royal Australian Mint's Alphabet Collection series. |
