| Obverse description | The fourth effigy of Queen Elizabeth II, designed by Ian Rank-Broadley, faces right wearing the Girls of Great Britain and Ireland Tiara. The legend ELIZABETH II AUSTRALIA arcs along the upper periphery, with the date 2012 and the designer's initials IRB appearing in the lower field. The portrait is rendered in fine relief against a plain field, characteristic of the Rank-Broadley series used on Australian coinage from 1999. |
