| Obverse description | The central device depicts the colonial arms of Queensland, featuring a quartered shield with a rampant bull, a sheaf of wheat, a ship under sail, and a fleece, surmounted by a radiant sun. The shield is supported by an emu to the left and a kangaroo to the right, both facing inward toward the arms. A scroll beneath bears the motto ADVANCE AUSTRALIA. The outer legend QUEENSLAND arcs across the upper field, with the date 1863 inscribed at the base, all within a beaded border. |
