| Obverse description | The third portrait effigy of Queen Elizabeth II, sculpted by Ian Rank-Broadley, faces right wearing the Girls of Great Britain and Ireland tiara and a necklace. The legend ELIZABETH II arcs along the left rim, with AUSTRALIA and the date 2000 along the right rim. The engraver's initials IRB appear below the truncation of the bust. The portrait is rendered in fine relief against a smooth field, characteristic of Rank-Broadley's mature numismatic style. |
