| Obverse description | The fourth definitive effigy of Queen Elizabeth II, modelled by Ian Rank-Broadley, is depicted in right-facing profile as a mature, uncrowned bust with naturalistic detail to the hair. The legend ELIZABETH II arcs across the upper field to the left, with AUSTRALIA continuing around the right, both separated by a beaded border encircling the rim. The denomination 4 DOLLARS appears in the lower field beneath the portrait, flanked by raised dots. The engraver's initials IRB are incised discreetly below the truncation of the bust. |

| Reverse description | The central field features a highly detailed, raised depiction of a gold nugget, rendered with an irregular, organic silhouette to convey the natural texture and mass of raw alluvial gold. A beaded inner border frames the design. The arc legend THE AUSTRALIAN NUGGET 1/25 OZ. 9999 GOLD curves around the upper and right periphery, while the date 2005 appears in the lower field flanked by raised dots. The small mintmark P, denoting the Perth Mint, is struck to the lower left of the nugget motif. |
