| Obverse description | The fourth portrait effigy of Queen Elizabeth II by Ian Rank-Broadley, depicted in right-facing profile wearing the Girls of Great Britain and Ireland tiara, occupies the central field of this rectangular silver piece.

| Reverse description | The reverse features a stylised dolphin rendered in an Australian Aboriginal-inspired artistic style, its body oriented diagonally across the rectangular field and textured with overlapping arc motifs evoking scales and water movement. Surrounding the central figure is an intricate composition of flowing curvilinear forms, spirals, circles, and wave elements that fill the field in a manner consistent with traditional Dreaming iconography. The Perth Mint's mintmark P appears to the left of the dolphin, and the engraver's initials DB, for Darryll Bellotti, are incuse in the lower right field. The design is executed entirely without inscriptions, allowing the decorative artwork to command the full visual space. The combination of naturalistic subject matter and stylised motifs creates a striking contemporary numismatic design. |
