The design includes the inscription THE 1 OZ 9999 AUSTRALIAN GOLD or SILVER SWAN and the Perth Mint’s exclusive “P5” mint mark that signifies this coin is a part of the fifth annual swan release.

The obverse side includes the Commonwealth effigy of HM Queen Elizabeth II created by British engraver Jody Clark and introduced onto Australian coinage in 2019. The coins’ denomination of 100 DOLLARS (gold) or 1 DOLLAR (silver) is placed just under the Queen’s likeness.
