| Obverse description | The fourth portrait effigy of Queen Elizabeth II faces right, depicted wearing the Girls of Great Britain and Ireland Tiara. The legend ELIZABETH II arcs above, with AUSTRALIA and the denomination 1 DOLLAR inscribed in the field, accompanied by the designer's initials IRB. The portrait is rendered in refined relief characteristic of Ian Rank-Broadley's definitive effigy. |

| Reverse description | The central design features a coloured satellite image of the Earth, enhanced by a gold insert representing the Sun with stylised rays aligned toward the Morning Star and illuminating Cleopatra's Needle. Encircling the border are winged sun disc motifs symbolising the union of Upper and Lower Egypt, incorporating the cobra and vulture goddesses alongside the sun disc of the god Ra. Figures drawn from the deities of the Temple of Hathor appear around the outer border, depicted in the act of supporting the heavens — here represented by the globe. The reverse legend AUSTRALIA 2001 1 oz. 999 SILVER is inscribed within the design. The overall composition blends ancient Egyptian iconography with modern astronomical imagery in a richly coloured format. |
