| Obverse description | The sixth definitive effigy of Queen Elizabeth II, as designed by Jody Clark, occupies the obverse field, depicting a right-facing crowned bust of the Queen wearing the George IV State Diadem and the Victorian Coronation Necklace. The portrait is rendered in high relief, lending sculptural depth to the regal likeness. The legend ELIZABETH II AUSTRALIA 8 DOLLARS arcs along the upper periphery, with the engraver's initials JC appearing below the truncation. |

| Reverse description | The reverse presents a finely detailed, high-relief depiction of a young koala (Phascolarctos cinereus) seated upright and facing forward on a eucalyptus branch, its claws gripping the bough with naturalistic precision. Eucalyptus leaves are rendered in fine relief flanking the animal on both sides, enhancing the sense of native Australian habitat. The legend AUSTRALIAN KOALA arcs across the upper field, while the inscription 2019 5oz 9999 SILVER appears in the lower exergue. The Perth Mint's privy mark P is visible to the right of the koala in the mid-field. The composition benefits from deeply mirrored proof fields contrasting with finely frosted design elements. |
