| Obverse description | The sixth and final effigy of Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II, as designed by Jody Clark, occupies the obverse field, depicting a right-facing crowned bust of the Queen adorned with the George IV State Diadem and the Victorian Coronation Necklace. The legend arcing around the periphery reads ELIZABETH II AUSTRALIA, with the denomination 100 DOLLARS, the purity designation 1oz 9995 Pt, the date 2022, and the designer's initials JC all present in the field. The portrait is rendered in fine relief against a mirror-polished proof field. |

| Reverse description | The reverse presents a finely detailed, high-relief depiction of a griffin — the legendary creature with the body of a lion and the head and wings of an eagle — shown passant and rearing upon a rocky outcrop with its expansive wings raised and spread dramatically above its form. The beast faces left with its eagle head turned alertly, its lion's tail curled behind, and its taloned forefeet poised upon the craggy cliff, with a mountainous landscape visible in the right background field. The arcing legend MYTHICAL CREATURES runs along the upper periphery, with GRIFFIN descending along the right border, and the Perth Mint's P mintmark situated to the lower right. The designer's initials NM appear in the lower exergue area at the base of the design. The composition is executed in frosted relief against a mirror-polished proof field. |
