| Obverse description | The right-facing effigy of Queen Elizabeth II by Raphael David Maklouf dominates the obverse, portraying the Queen wearing the George IV State Diadem and a draped neckline in the third definitive portrait adopted by Australian coinage. The circumferential legend ELIZABETH II AUSTRALIA arcs through the upper field in incuse Latin characters, while the four-digit date 1997 is positioned in the lower field beneath the portrait. The designer's initials RDM appear discreetly at the truncation of the bust. The portrait is rendered with fine cameo relief against the mirror-polished proof field characteristic of premium bullion issues. |
