| Obverse description | The fourth portrait effigy of Queen Elizabeth II faces right, rendered by Ian Rank-Broadley, with the Queen wearing the Girls of Great Britain and Ireland Tiara. The legend encircles the effigy, reading ELIZABETH II AUSTRALIA followed by the date and the denomination 15 DOLLARS. The designer's initials IRB appear below the truncation of the bust. The portrait is executed in a refined, naturalistic style characteristic of Rank-Broadley's work for Commonwealth coinage. |
