| Obverse description | Fourth portrait effigy of Queen Elizabeth II facing right, wearing the Girls of Great Britain and Ireland Tiara, as designed by Ian Rank-Broadley. The legend ELIZABETH II AUSTRALIA 2004 arcs around the upper periphery, with the designer's initials IRB appearing below the truncation of the bust. The portrait presents a refined, mature likeness consistent with the fourth definitive effigy adopted by Australian coinage. |

| Reverse description | A stylised depiction of the Jolly Swagman, the iconic figure from the Australian folk song Waltzing Matilda, shown in full figure carrying a swag over his shoulder and holding a walking stick. The figure is rendered in a bold, graphic style evoking late 19th-century Australian bush culture. The denomination 1 DOLLAR appears in the field, accompanied by the title WALTZING MATILDA. An inscription references the centenary commemorative dates 1895-1995 and credits the song's composer A.B. 'Banjo' Paterson along the lower periphery. |
