| Obverse description | The fourth portrait effigy of Queen Elizabeth II faces right, modelled by Ian Rank-Broadley, wearing the Girls of Great Britain and Ireland tiara. The legend ELIZABETH II arcs across the upper field with AUSTRALIA to the right, while the denomination 50 DOLLARS curves along the lower rim, flanked by two raised dots. The engraver's initials IRB appear incuse beneath the queen's truncation. The portrait is rendered with fine cameo relief against a deeply mirrored proof field. |

| Reverse description | The central field features a stylised Aboriginal art-inspired depiction of a Brolga (Antigone rubicunda), rendered in intricate geometric and linear patterns evoking indigenous Australian artistic tradition. The bird's long neck curves gracefully upward and over, with its wings and body composed of fine incised lines, dotted borders, and repeating motifs suggestive of feather structure. The Perth Mint's P mintmark appears to the right of the design, and the engraver's initials DB are visible at lower centre. The arc legend DISCOVER AUSTRALIA runs along the upper rim, while 2009 BROLGA 1/2oz 9999 GOLD is inscribed along the lower rim. |
