| Obverse description | Right-facing effigy of Queen Elizabeth II wearing the Girls of Great Britain and Ireland tiara, as sculpted by Ian Rank-Broadley for her fourth portrait; the engraver's initials IRB appear beneath the truncation. The legend ELIZABETH II arcs above and AUSTRALIA to the right, with the denomination 25 DOLLARS inscribed below the portrait. Surrounding the central raised inner circle, an ornamental border features all twelve animals of the Chinese zodiac in high relief, each separated by circular pellets, creating an elaborate decorative outer ring. |

| Reverse description | A finely detailed rooster stands in full profile atop a rocky outcrop at centre, rendered with meticulous feather detail and a confident upright posture. Radiating sunburst lines emanate from behind the bird, filling the upper field and conveying the dawn symbolism associated with the rooster in Chinese tradition. To the left, a textured rockface bears the Chinese character 雞 (rooster), and the designer's initials TD appear nearby. The date 2017 is inscribed at the top of the field, and the purity and weight inscription 1/4oz .9999 Au appears along the lower rim. |
