| Obverse description | The obverse bears the fourth definitive effigy of Queen Elizabeth II by Susanna Blunt, depicting the monarch in right-facing profile as a mature woman of 77 years, bareheaded, wearing a necklace and drop earrings. The portrait is rendered in a refined, naturalistic style with fine surface detail. The legend arcs across the upper field, and the engraver's initials appear below the truncation. |

| Reverse description | The reverse features a boldly stylized, close-up bust of a ram rendered in full polychrome colour, occupying the majority of the coin's field. The animal's dramatically curved, ribbed horns sweep prominently to the left, while the ram's face is depicted in three-quarter view facing right, with vivid amber and brown tones applied with fine detail. Within the curl of the horn, the Chinese character for sheep (羊) is engraved in the uncoloured silver field. The border is decorated with a classical Greek-key meander pattern, and the bilingual legend and denomination arc around the periphery. |
