| Reverse description | The Royal Arms of the United Kingdom, rendered as a crowned shield, with St Edward's Crown displayed prominently above. The shield is flanked and surrounded by stylised representations of the floral emblems of Australia and its States and Territories, incorporating elements such as the golden wattle and other botanical motifs in an ornate heraldic composition. The surrounding legend commemorates the 65th anniversary of the Coronation of Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II, with the regnal dates 1953 and 2018 flanking the central device. The reverse is executed in high-relief proof finish consistent with the commemorative nature of the issue. |

| Additional information |
The 65th coronation anniversary in 2018 carried unusual weight: Elizabeth II had by then surpassed her great-great-grandmother Victoria as Britain's longest-reigning monarch, a threshold crossed in September 2015. Perth's commemorative program for royal milestones has leaned heavily on high-purity two-ounce gold formats since the 1990s, and this piece follows that pattern — the .9999 fineness distinguishing it from the .9167 used in Australian sovereign-series gold.
