The legend 'ELIZABETH II' arcs along the upper left field and 'AUSTRALIA' along the upper right, both separated from the inner field by a fine beaded border. The denomination '1 DOLLAR' is inscribed along the lower arc, also within the beaded border. The portrait is set against a polished mirror field characteristic of bullion coinage. |
