Interesting fact
One interesting fact about this coin is that it features a unique portrait of Queen Elizabeth II, designed by sculptor Ian Rank-Broadley, which was specifically created for this coin series. This portrait is known as the "4th portrait" and it shows the Queen with a more mature and regal appearance, compared to the previous portraits used on Australian coins. This design change was implemented to reflect the Queen's age and her long reign, and it has become a distinctive feature of this particular coin series.
