| Obverse description | The fourth definitive effigy of Queen Elizabeth II, as designed by Ian Rank-Broadley, occupies the central field, depicting the monarch in right-facing profile adorned with the Girls of Great Britain and Ireland Tiara. The legend ELIZABETH II AUSTRALIA 1 DOLLAR arcs around the upper periphery, while the engraver's initials IRB appear truncated below the portrait. The design is rendered in high relief against a finely milled background, characteristic of Perth Mint bullion coinage. |

| Reverse description | The central device depicts a highly detailed, naturalistically rendered adult koala resting in a sleeping posture draped across the smooth, finely textured bough of a eucalyptus tree, its claws gripping the limb with characteristic lethargy. The fur is rendered with exceptional engraving depth, conveying a rich sculptural texture. The legend AUSTRALIAN KOALA arcs boldly along the upper periphery, while the inscription 2012 1oz 999 SILVER appears in the lower field. The Perth Mint's P mintmark is positioned to the left of the central device, and the designer's initials AH are incused at the lower left of the inner circle. |
