| Obverse description | The obverse features the fourth definitive effigy of Queen Elizabeth II, designed by Ian Rank-Broadley, depicted in right-facing profile with a girlande tiara and pearl earring. The Queen's mature, finely detailed portrait displays meticulously engraved hair and drapery at the shoulder truncation. The legend ELIZABETH II arcs along the upper left field, with AUSTRALIA 2009 continuing around the right and lower right periphery. The engraver's initials IRB appear incuse at the base of the neck truncation. The mirrored proof field provides a deeply reflective contrast to the frosted relief of the effigy. |
