The reverse features Stuart Devlin's Coat of Arms design and the obverse features the Maklouf portrait of her majesty Queen Elizabeth II. As with
the earlier type Stuart Devlin's initials (SD) can be found on the bottom of the reverse. The series was struck exclusively
at the Royal Australian mint in a cupro-nickel alloy with
an additional silver
