| Obverse description | The sixth effigy of Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II by sculptor Jody Clark, depicting the Queen in right-facing profile, diademed with the King George IV State Diadem and adorned with the Victorian Coronation Necklace. The legend ELIZABETH II encircles the upper field, with AUSTRALIA 2020 and the denomination 1 DOLLAR distributed in the lower field. The engraver's initials JC appear at the truncation of the effigy. The portrait is rendered in a refined, detailed style characteristic of Clark's coinage work. |

| Reverse description | The reverse features a vivid pad-printed colorized depiction of the Emu constellation as recognized in Australian Aboriginal astronomy, rendered as a dark silhouette formed by the dust lanes and dark nebulae of the Milky Way against a richly detailed star-filled nocturnal sky. The Emu's distinctive form is traced through the absence of light rather than by stars, reflecting Indigenous Australian astronomical tradition. The inscription THE EMU IN THE SKY arcs across the upper field, while the fineness and weight notation 1/2 oz .999 Ag appears in the lower field. The colorization technique gives the design a striking, immersive celestial quality consistent with the Star Dreaming series. |
