| Obverse description | The fourth portrait effigy of Queen Elizabeth II faces right, wearing the Girls of Great Britain and Ireland Tiara, as designed by Ian Rank-Broadley. The legend 'ELIZABETH II AUSTRALIA 50 DOLLARS' encircles the effigy, with the designer's initials 'IRB' appearing below the truncation of the bust. The field is plain and unadorned, presenting a refined and regal composition consistent with official Commonwealth coinage of the period. |

| Reverse description | The reverse depicts a stylised artistic rendering of a saltwater crocodile (Crocodylus porosus) in a dynamic, dreaming-style composition, evoking Australian Indigenous art influences. The crocodile's form is rendered with bold, curvilinear lines, with the head prominently displayed showing detailed scale and jaw work, set against a lightly textured field. The legend 'DISCOVER AUSTRALIA' arcs along the upper rim, while '2010 SALTWATER CROCODILE 1/2 OZ 9999 GOLD' appears along the lower periphery. The Perth Mint's 'P' mintmark is visible in the left field, along with the designer's initials 'DB'. The overall design conveys both naturalistic detail and a distinctly Australian artistic sensibility. |
