| Obverse description | Right-facing effigy of Queen Elizabeth II after the sixth portrait design by Jody Clark, depicting the Queen wearing the George IV State Diadem and a pearl necklace with a pendant drop. The legend ELIZABETH II 1952-2022 arcs along the upper left periphery, with AUSTRALIA 2023 inscribed along the right, all in raised Latin characters against a finely textured field. The engraver's initials JC appear incuse at the lower left of the truncation. The portrait presents the Queen in mature likeness with characteristic detail in the diadem and hair, rendered in high relief consistent with proof coinage standards. |

| Reverse description | Central design features a pad-printed circular wreath of color, representing ribbon bars of Vietnam War service medals rendered in their characteristic stripes of red, yellow, black, white, green, and blue, forming a decorative ring around the inner field. Within the ring, a relief depiction of a military helicopter — identifiable as a UH-1 Iroquois (Huey), iconic to the Vietnam War — is shown in flight over a stylized landscape. Two small Federation stars flank the design at the mid-field on either side. The legend VIETNAM WAR arcs along the upper periphery and 2 DOLLARS along the lower, with the Canberra mint mark C at lower right, all in raised Latin characters against a darkened proof field. |
