| Obverse description | Fourth portrait effigy of Queen Elizabeth II facing right, wearing the Girls of Great Britain and Ireland tiara and a drop pearl earring, rendered in fine detail after the design by Ian Rank-Broadley. The legend ELIZABETH II arcs along the upper left field, with AUSTRALIA and the date 2003 continuing along the right periphery. The engraver's initials IRB appear incuse below the truncation of the neck. The portrait occupies a broad, deeply mirrored proof field characteristic of Royal Australian Mint production. |

| Reverse description | Central design features the Webb Ellis Cup rendered in high relief and selectively gold-plated, set within an oval inner field against a contrasting darkened background. The trophy is depicted in elaborate detail with ornate scrolled handles, a domed lid surmounted by a finial, and decorative foliate base. Flanking the trophy to the left and right are two IRB Rugby World Cup 2003 logotype panels. The upper outer legend reads THE WORLD IN UNION in serif lettering, while FIVE DOLLARS arcs along the lower border in matching style. The two-tone treatment of the gold-plated trophy against the silver field creates a striking visual contrast. |
