The truncation of the bust bears the engraver's initials IRB. The legend ELIZABETH II and AUSTRALIA arcs around the upper field, while the denomination 15 DOLLARS is inscribed along the lower periphery, flanked by raised dots. The high-relief portrait is set against a deeply mirrored proof field. |

Part of Perth Mint's Australian Bullion Coin program, which expanded aggressively in the 2000s as gold demand from Asian markets — particularly China — pushed the mint to diversify its fractional offerings beyond the flagship Kangaroo series. The dingo subjects were introduced partly to attract collectors who had exhausted the standard fauna rotation.
Ian Rank-Broadley's fourth portrait of Elizabeth II, adopted by Australia in 1999, was already nine years into circulation by this strike.
