| Reverse description | Central to the reverse is a classical portrait of the young Queen Victoria in the Sydney Type II style, her hair adorned with wreaths of native banksia, evoking an Australian botanical motif distinctive to colonial-era portraiture of the monarch. The surrounding border is embellished with decorative wattle branches, further reinforcing the Australian floral theme. The circumscribed legend reads QUEEN VICTORIA 200th ANNIVERSARY, with the Perth Mint's P mintmark integrated into the design. The composition commemorates the bicentenary of Queen Victoria's birth in 1819, presented in a style befitting a medallic commemorative issue. |

| Additional information |
Queen Victoria was born 24 May 1819, making 2019 her precise bicentenary. The Royal Australian Mint has a long habit of marking British royal anniversaries on the dollar — partly a function of Australia's constitutional ties, partly reliable collector demand. This particular issue belongs to a broader commemorative program the RAM ran across 2019, cycling through multiple reverses to mark the occasion.
Victoria's reign saw Australia transition from penal colonies to federated nationhood — she died in January 1901, just days after Federation took effect on the first of that month.
