| Obverse description | The obverse features the sixth and final definitive effigy of Queen Elizabeth II, designed by Jody Clark, depicted in right-facing profile as a mature bust wearing the George IV State Diadem and a pearl drop earring, with a pearl necklace at the truncation. The portrait is rendered in high relief against a frosted field, with fine engraving detail throughout the hair and regalia. The designer's initials 'JC' appear at the lower left of the bust truncation. The legend 'ELIZABETH II' arcs across the upper field to the left, 'AUSTRALIA' arcs across the upper field to the right, and the denomination '10 DOLLARS' is inscribed along the lower rim, all separated by raised dot stops. |
