Adorable Mouse Design by Ing Ing Jong

The obverse features a right-side portrait of Queen Elizabeth II by Jody Clark. The monarch wears earrings, a necklace, and her Royal Diamond Diadem, which she wears to the State Opening of Parliament in Britain. Her shoulders are open to the holder. The effigy is encircled by a rim frame in which there are several inscriptions. "ELIZABETH II" and "AUSTRALIA" are on the top half of the frame, while "1 OZ 9999 AG" and "1 DOLLAR" are on the bottom half of it.

Ing Ing Jong designed the reverse. Two mice are eating ears of corn. The Chinese character for "mouse" is inscribed over the English word "MOUSE" and the date, "2020."
