| Obverse description | The obverse features the second portrait effigy of Queen Elizabeth II facing right, as modelled by Arnold Machin. The Queen is depicted with an elegant coiffure surmounted by a diadem, wearing a draped décolleté gown, rendered in fine high relief with careful attention to facial detail and hair texture. The surrounding legend reads 'ELIZABETH II' to the left and 'AUSTRALIA' to the right, with the date '1966' positioned in the lower right field. The design is set within a plain, unadorned field with a raised rim. |

| Reverse description | The reverse, designed by Stuart Devlin, presents a bold and detailed rendition of the Australian Commonwealth Coat of Arms centered in the field. A red kangaroo to the left and an emu to the right flank the shield, which is surmounted by a seven-pointed Commonwealth Star and incorporates the badges of the six Australian states. Stylised wattle branches form a decorative backdrop behind the supporters. The large numeral '50' occupies the lower portion of the field, with the designer's initials 'SD' inscribed discreetly near the base of the design. |
