| Obverse description | The obverse features the sixth and final effigy of Queen Elizabeth II, designed by Jody Clark, rendered in right-facing portrait. The Queen is depicted wearing the George IV State Diadem crown adorned with pearls and gemstones, a pearl drop earring, and a pearl necklace, with her hair swept up. The legend 'ELIZABETH II' arcs above and 'AUSTRALIA' arcs to the right within a recessed inner border, while the denomination '100 DOLLARS' is inscribed along the lower rim. The engraver's initials 'JC' appear in the lower field to the left of the portrait. The overall style is finely detailed and naturalistic, consistent with Clark's portraiture work for Commonwealth coinage. |

| Reverse description | The reverse presents a highly detailed aerial panoramic view of the Super Pit open-cut gold mine located near Kalgoorlie, Western Australia, one of the largest open-pit gold mines in the world. The terraced walls of the vast excavation descend dramatically into the pit, rendered with fine engraved linework conveying the immense scale of the mining operation. A large circular sun or moon rises above the horizon line in the upper field, set against a darkened sky rendered in frosted relief. The legend 'SUPER PIT AUSTRALIA' arcs boldly along the upper rim in incuse lettering against a blackened background, with the Perth Mint's 'P' mintmark visible to the right. The lower exergue carries the inscriptions '2019 1oz 9999 GOLD', confirming the year of issue, weight, and gold fineness. |
