| Obverse description | The fourth definitive effigy of Queen Elizabeth II, designed by Ian Rank-Broadley, faces right wearing the Girls of Great Britain and Ireland Tiara. The queen's portrait is rendered in high relief with fine detail to the hair and jewellery. The surrounding legend reads ELIZABETH II AUSTRALIA 15 DOLLARS, with the engraver's initials IRB appearing below the truncation of the bust. The field is plain and unadorned, focusing attention on the regal portrait. |

| Reverse description | A proud rooster is depicted in full lateral view at the centre of the design, rendered in vibrant applied colour consistent with the Chinese Lunar Year series. To the right of the rooster, the traditional Chinese character 雞 (Rooster) appears in a bold, upright regular script. The date 2005 is inscribed at the top of the field, while the lower portion bears the inscriptions 1/2 KILO and 999 SILVER, denoting the coin's bullion weight and fineness. The overall composition celebrates the Chinese Year of the Rooster in a style blending Eastern iconography with Western numismatic convention. |
