| Obverse description | The fourth definitive effigy of Queen Elizabeth II, as designed by Ian Rank-Broadley, facing right and adorned with the Girls of Great Britain and Ireland Tiara. The queen's portrait is rendered in fine relief with visible drapery at the shoulder. The surrounding legend reads 'ELIZABETH II AUSTRALIA 1 DOLLAR' with the engraver's initials 'IRB' positioned beneath the truncation. The date and denomination are incorporated within the obverse legend, consistent with standard Australian bullion coinage of this series. |

| Reverse description | The reverse depicts two kookaburras in a naturalistic composition: a large kookaburra perched prominently on a branch in the right foreground, rendered in high relief with detailed feathering, its beak open as if calling, while a second kookaburra is shown in flight with wings fully spread to the left and behind. The engraver's initials 'JP' appear near the base of the branch, with the Perth Mint's 20th anniversary privy mark 'P20' inscribed in the lower field. The annular legend surrounding the central design reads 'THE AUSTRALIAN KOOKABURRA 1 OZ 999 SILVER' with the date '2009' at the bottom, flanked by decorative dots. |
