| Obverse description | The sixth definitive effigy of Queen Elizabeth II by Jody Clark, depicting the sovereign in right-facing profile, diademed with the George IV State Diadem and adorned with the Victorian Coronation Necklace. The truncation of the bust is cleanly rendered, and the portrait is executed in high relief consistent with proof coinage. The surrounding legend reads ELIZABETH II AUSTRALIA 2022 1 DOLLAR, with the engraver's initials JC appearing below the portrait. |

| Reverse description | The reverse features a stylised composition centred on the large decorative letter S, rendered in an ornate flowing style suggestive of ocean surf, occupying the upper field of the coin. A surfer in a crouching stance rides a surfboard across a breaking wave, depicted in dynamic high relief with intricate foam and spray elements radiating across the field. The numeral 1 and the word DOLLAR appear to the left in the mid-field, while the legend SURFING is inscribed along the lower edge of the design. The overall composition celebrates surfing as an iconic element of Australian culture. |
