| Obverse description | The obverse field features a distinctive two-coin design composition set against a mirror-polished silver background, with a beaded border encircling the entire face. At the upper centre, a gold-plated inset replicates the reverse of the 1855 Sydney Mint sovereign, displaying a heraldic crown above the date 1855 and the legend SYDNEY MINT AUSTRALIA. At the lower centre, a second gold-plated inset depicts the fourth portrait effigy of Queen Elizabeth II as engraved by Ian Rank-Broadley, with the legend ELIZABETH II AUSTRALIA 2005 and the engraver's initials IRB. A recessed rectangular panel across the central field carries the commemorative inscription ON 14 MAY 1855 GOVERNOR SIR WILLIAM DENISON OFFICIALLY OPENED THE ROYAL MINT SYDNEY FAMOUS FOR PRODUCING AUSTRALIA'S FIRST GOLD SOVEREIGN in raised lettering. |
