| Obverse description | The fourth portrait effigy of Queen Elizabeth II faces right, wearing the Girls of Great Britain and Ireland Tiara. The legend ELIZABETH II AUSTRALIA 25 DOLLARS arcs around the upper field, with the engraver's initials IRB appearing below the truncation of the bust. The portrait was executed by Ian Rank-Broadley and reflects the refined style introduced for Commonwealth coinage from 1998. |
