| Reverse description | Three fully opened Waratah flower heads (Telopea speciosissima), the floral emblem of New South Wales, are depicted in high relief across the coin's field, accompanied by characteristic serrated foliage and sinuous stems rendered in fine detail. A stylised background of sweeping curved lines enhances the botanical composition. The engraver's initials 'AS' appear discreetly in the lower right field. The denomination legend 'ONE DOLLAR' is inscribed along the lower periphery in a recessed arc. |

| Additional information |
The Waratah — Telopea speciosissima — has been the floral emblem of New South Wales since 1962, though its symbolic association with the state stretches back to Aboriginal Australians and early colonial botanical records. This issue belongs to the Royal Australian Mint's ongoing Wildflowers series, which rotates native species across annual one-ounce releases aimed squarely at the bullion collector market rather than circulation.
The sixth portrait of Elizabeth II, by Jody Clark, was introduced across Commonwealth mints from 2015 onward — making 2022 one of the final years it appeared before her death in September of that year rendered the effigy retrospectively terminal.
