| Obverse description | The fourth portrait effigy of Queen Elizabeth II, modelled by Ian Rank-Broadley, is depicted in right-facing profile occupying the central field of the dodecagonal flan. The Queen wears the Girls of Great Britain and Ireland tiara, rendered with fine detail. The legend ELIZABETH II arcs along the upper left periphery, while AUSTRALIA and the date 2017 arc along the right, all in raised Latin characters. The engraver's initials IRB appear in small incuse letters at the base of the effigy's truncation. |

| Reverse description | The reverse features a pad-printed full-colour depiction of the iconic 1971 Ford XY Falcon GT-HO presented in a three-quarter front view against a vivid red background, rendered in red, black, and white tones. The legend FORD AUSTRALIAN CLASSICS arcs along the upper portion of the field, flanking the large numeral 50 denoting the coin's face value at the apex. The inscription 8 CYLINDER appears to the right of the vehicle in the mid-field, while XY FALCON GT-HO is prominently inscribed in raised lettering across the lower field, with the model year 1971 appearing below. Decorative circuit-board-style line motifs frame the coloured central panel within the coin's characteristic dodecagonal border. |
