| Obverse description | The sixth and final definitive effigy of Queen Elizabeth II by engraver Jody Clark occupies the upper apex of the triangular flan, depicted as a right-facing crowned and draped bust within a circular reserve, with the legend ELIZABETH II • AUSTRALIA 2020 arcing around the portrait and the engraver's initials JC incuse below the truncation. The lower field is dominated by a dramatic high-relief depiction of the Zuytdorp shipwreck scene: figures struggle amid turbulent waves against a rocky coastline, with a distressed vessel visible in the background. Scattered across the lower foreground are period Dutch coins, skeletal remains, and a human skull, evoking the tragic fate of the crew. The denomination ONE HUNDRED DOLLARS is inscribed in the lower central field above the coin imagery. |

| Reverse description | The reverse, oriented as a mirror image relative to the obverse, presents a richly detailed composition centred on a full-rigged Dutch East India Company (VOC) sailing vessel under sail upon open seas, rendered in deep relief. The VOC monogram appears within a decorative cartouche at the upper apex. Flanking the ship, elaborate garlands of fruit and foliage sweep to either side, terminating beside two standing period-costumed figures, each accompanied by a heraldic shield. A scrolled banner in the lower field bears the inscriptions ZUYTDORP and 1712 in relief lettering, appearing inverted relative to the obverse orientation, consistent with the coin's medal alignment. The fineness and weight inscription 1oz .9999 Au is rendered along the lower edge of the field. |
