| Obverse description | The fourth portrait effigy of Queen Elizabeth II facing right, as designed by Ian Rank-Broadley, wearing the Girls of Great Britain and Ireland Tiara. The legend 'ELIZABETH II AUSTRALIA 2008' arcs around the upper periphery, with the designer's initials 'IRB' appearing below the truncation of the bust. The field is plain and unadorned, presenting the effigy in a formal, refined style consistent with contemporary Commonwealth coinage. |

A smaller A380 silhouette appears in the upper portion of the oval vignette, emphasising the aircraft's scale and grandeur. The legend 'AVIATION HISTORY - AIRBUS A380' arcs around the upper periphery of the coin, while the denomination '5 DOLLARS' is inscribed in bold lettering across the lower field beneath the central design. |
