| Obverse description | Right-facing effigy of Queen Elizabeth II after the fourth portrait by Ian Rank-Broadley, depicting the Queen wearing the Girls of Great Britain and Ireland tiara. The legend ELIZABETH II and AUSTRALIA arcs around the upper field, while the denomination 1000 DOLLARS and the specifications 10oz 9999 GOLD appear along the lower periphery flanking the date 2015. The engraver's initials IRB appear truncated below the portrait. The design is rendered in high relief against a polished field, characteristic of Perth Mint bullion coinage. |

| Reverse description | A detailed, high-relief depiction of a goat standing on rocky ground occupies the central field, rendered in fine sculptural detail with pronounced horns, a full fleece body, and alert posture facing left. Behind the goat, a stylised mountain landscape echoes traditional Chinese artistic conventions. The Chinese character 羊 (yang, meaning goat or ram) appears prominently to the left of the figure, accompanied by the Perth Mint's distinctive P mintmark. The curved legend YEAR OF THE GOAT arcs along the lower portion of the field, and the engraver's initials IJ appear discreetly in the design. |
