| Obverse description | The third definitive effigy of Queen Elizabeth II, modelled by Raphael David Maklouf, depicted as a right-facing draped bust wearing the King George IV State Diadem and pearl earring. The peripheral legend reads 'ELIZABETH II AUSTRALIA 2 DOLLARS' with the engraver's initials 'RDM' present in the field. The design is rendered in high relief against a frosted or bullion-finish field, consistent with the Perth Mint's bullion coin production standards. |

| Reverse description | Two Kookaburras (Dacelo novaeguineae) perched side by side on a eucalyptus branch, depicted in finely detailed high relief with naturalistic feather rendering. Leafy eucalyptus sprigs extend to either side of the birds. The curved legend 'THE AUSTRALIAN KOOKABURRA' arcs across the upper field, while the inscription '2 OZ. 999 SILVER' and the issue year '1994' appear in the lower field, flanked by raised dot separators. The overall composition is set within a beaded border and reflects the Perth Mint's characteristic craftsmanship in silver bullion coinage. |
