| Obverse description | The fourth portrait effigy of Queen Elizabeth II by Ian Rank-Broadley, depicting a right-facing diademed and draped bust of the monarch, is centrally positioned within an octagonal inner frame that mirrors the road sign shape of the reverse design. The legend ELIZABETH II appears along the left side of the field, while AUSTRALIA 2014 runs along the right side, both oriented vertically. The denomination 1 DOLLAR is inscribed horizontally in the lower field. The engraver's initials IRB appear on the truncation of the bust. The proof finish produces a sharply struck cameo contrast against the mirror-polished fields. |

| Reverse description | The reverse features a bold high-relief depiction of a mother koala and her joey clinging to a eucalyptus branch, rendered within a diamond-shaped frame that replicates the design of an Australian wildlife road warning sign, complete with a raised border. The diamond motif is centrally positioned on the coin's face, with the Southern Cross constellation rendered in five stars visible in the upper right field outside the diamond. The inscription 1oz .999 Ag appears in the lower left field, outside the diamond frame, confirming the coin's silver content and weight. The entire composition is executed in proof finish with frosted relief elements contrasting against polished mirror fields. The design evokes the iconic Australian roadside koala crossing signs, lending the coin strong thematic identity. |
