| Obverse description | The national coat of arms of Papua New Guinea occupies the central field, depicting a Raggiana bird-of-paradise with wings dramatically spread, perched upon a traditional kundu drum crossed with a spear and a Sepik ceremonial stool. The legend PAPUA NEW GUINEA arcs along the upper periphery, while the date 2017 appears in the lower exergue flanked by the metallic specifications 0.5 g to the left and Au 585 to the right. |

| Reverse description | A detailed bearded portrait bust of the Italian astronomer and physicist Galileo Galilei is rendered in high relief to the left of centre, facing slightly to the right. Surrounding the portrait to the upper right and lower right, a grouping of celestial bodies — including representations of the Moon, Jupiter, Saturn with its rings, and various planetary spheres — evokes Galileo's astronomical discoveries. The legend GALILEO GALILEI arcs along the upper portion of the field, while the denomination 1 KINA appears within a curved cartouche at the base of the design. |
