| Obverse description | The fourth effigy of Queen Elizabeth II by Ian Rank-Broadley, depicting a right-facing draped bust of the Queen wearing the Girls of Great Britain and Ireland Tiara. The legend ELIZABETH II AUSTRALIA 2003 arcs around the upper periphery, with the denomination 50 CENTS implied by the coin's face value. The portrait is rendered in high relief against a flat field, consistent with the standard Australian decimal coinage obverse design of the period. |

| Reverse description | The reverse commemorates the fiftieth anniversary of the Coronation of Queen Elizabeth II, divided into a tripartite composition. At the centre, the royal cypher E II R surmounts the denomination numeral 50, with St Edward's Crown displayed prominently above the cypher. To the left, a seven-pointed Federation Star and the date 1953 appear in the field, while to the right a sprig of wattle and the date 2003 complete the design. The circumferential legend CORONATION ELIZABETH II FIFTIETH ANNIVERSARY runs around the periphery of the dodecagonal flan, recalling the golden jubilee of the 1953 coronation. |
