| Obverse description | The third-portrait effigy of Queen Elizabeth II, as modelled by Raphael Maklouf, is depicted in right-facing profile, wearing the Girls of Great Britain and Ireland tiara, drop earrings, and a pearl necklace. The legend ELIZABETH II arcs along the upper left field, with AUSTRALIA 1993 continuing along the upper right periphery. The denomination 20 DOLLARS is inscribed along the lower arc, flanked by two raised dots. The portrait is rendered in high relief against a deeply mirrored proof field, characteristic of the Royal Australian Mint's proof coinage of this period. |

| Reverse description | The reverse features a dynamic high-relief composition by Horst Hahne depicting four Olympic swimmers at the edge of a pool, evoking the competitive spirit of aquatic athletics. Three athletes are shown in starting or transitional positions above the pool deck, while a fourth figure is partially submerged in stylised water rendered in fine detail at the lower field. The five interlocking Olympic rings appear in the upper right field, accompanied by the centenary date span 1896-1996 inscribed immediately below. The mirror-polished proof field provides strong contrast to the frosted design elements. |
