| Obverse description | Right-facing effigy of Queen Elizabeth II wearing the George IV State Diadem, a drop earring, and a pearl necklace, as sculpted by Raphael Maklouf for the third and fourth portrait series. The legend ELIZABETH II arcs above the effigy to the left, and AUSTRALIA arcs to the right, both separated from the portrait by a continuous inner beaded border. The denomination 200 DOLLARS appears in the lower field beneath the bust. The engraver's initials RDM are visible on the truncation of the neck. The entire design is set against a deeply mirrored proof field. |

| Reverse description | Central device depicting two kangaroos — a large adult standing upright in full relief against a dramatic sunburst or radial ray pattern emanating from behind the figures, and a smaller juvenile kangaroo resting at its feet. The composition conveys naturalistic detail in the rendering of fur and musculature. The circular legend THE AUSTRALIAN NUGGET arcs across the upper field, with 2 OZ. continuing to the upper right. The inscription 9999 GOLD appears along the right field, and the date 1995 is displayed in the lower field, all punctuated by raised dots. A continuous inner beaded border frames the design. |
