| Reverse description | The reverse, engraved by Wojciech Pietranik, presents a striking commemorative composition celebrating the 50th anniversary of Queen Elizabeth II's coronation by displaying four successive portrait effigies of the Queen spanning her reign, arranged in overlapping profile within the gold centre field. The Royal Cipher ER surmounted by a crown appears prominently in the lower portion of the gold centre. The encircling silver ring bears the legend ELIZABETH II arching along the left, ANNIVERSARY OF CORONATION along the right, and 1953-2003 along the top, all separated by decorative stops. |

| Additional information |
Issued to mark the fiftieth anniversary of Elizabeth II's coronation on 2 June 1953, this piece was struck at the Royal Australian Mint in Canberra as part of a broader Commonwealth-wide commemorative program that year. The bimetallic proof format — a gold centre seated within a silver ring — was technically demanding for the mint and kept mintages deliberately low.
