The legend ELIZABETH II AUSTRALIA 2011 encircles the portrait along the periphery, with the engraver's initials IRB appearing below the truncation. The design is rendered in a refined, realistic style characteristic of Rank-Broadley's portraiture. |

| Reverse description | A vibrant full-colour pad-printed design depicting the Gondwana Rainforests World Heritage Area, featuring lush ancient rainforest trees and native ferns rendered in rich greens and earth tones. Prominently centred is Albert's Lyrebird (Menura alberti), a large ground-dwelling songbird distinguished by its ornate, elongated tail plumage, shown in its natural rainforest habitat. The inscriptions AUSTRALIA $1 and GONDWANA RAINFORESTS appear within the field, with the Perth Mint's P mintmark and the designation RV also present. The composition conveys the ecological significance and biodiversity of one of Australia's most celebrated UNESCO World Heritage Sites. |
