Obverse: Centered on the obverse is sculptor Jody Clark's right facing effigy of Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II, surrounded by a frame containing the inscriptions "ELIZABETH II," "AUSTRALIA" and "1 DOLLAR." The obverse boasts a stunning High Relief strike. Mr. Clark has been employed as a sculptor and engraver at The Royal Mint of Great Britain since 2012.
