The legend ELIZABETH II arcs along the upper rim, with AUSTRALIA along the right field. The denomination 15 DOLLARS is inscribed along the lower rim, and the engraver's initials IRB appear in small letters beneath the truncation of the bust. The design is framed by a fine beaded border against a deeply mirrored proof field. |

| Reverse description | The reverse depicts two bottlenose dolphins leaping dynamically in mid-air above stylised wavy lines representing the ocean, rendered in high relief against a finely engraved wave-pattern background that fills the entire field. The legend DISCOVER AUSTRALIA arcs along the upper rim, while the lower portion bears the inscriptions DOLPHIN, 1/10 OZ. 9999 GOLD, and the date 2008 arranged across the lower field. The Perth Mint privy mark P appears within the reverse design. The overall composition evokes the natural marine heritage of Australia in a refined proof finish. |
