| Obverse description | The obverse features the fourth definitive effigy of Queen Elizabeth II by Ian Rank-Broadley, depicted in right-facing profile with a tiara and pearl earring. The Queen's mature, finely detailed portrait dominates the central field, rendered in high relief with characteristic realism. The legend 'ELIZABETH II' arcs above along the upper rim, while 'AUSTRALIA' follows to the right. The denomination '15 DOLLARS' is inscribed along the lower portion of the field, flanked by decorative dots. The engraver's initials 'IRB' appear truncated beneath the portrait. |

| Reverse description | The reverse depicts a Common Wombat rendered in a stylised design that combines a traditional Aboriginal dot-art motif on the left with a naturalistic engraved illustration of the animal on the right, creating a striking yin-yang-inspired composition. The wombat is shown in a resting posture, its stocky form framed by decorative foliage, with fine line engraving conveying texture and depth. The legend 'DISCOVER AUSTRALIA' arcs along the upper rim, while the inscriptions '2010 COMMON WOMBAT' and '1/10 OZ 9995 PLATINUM' are arranged along the left and lower margins respectively. The Perth Mint's 'P' mintmark appears at upper centre, and the engraver's initials 'DB' are visible in the lower field. The coloured Aboriginal dot-art panel, applied by pad printing, provides a bold visual contrast to the polished proof fields. |
