The obverse of the Australian coin shows the portrait of Queen Elizabeth II of the United Kingdom.
There are four obverse faces of Australian coins, the fourth of which only appeared on the 2000 50c (50 cents) coin. So there are three commonly seen ones. These three are portraits of the Queen (Elizabeth II) on British coins of the same period.
Special obverse:
It is designed by Royal Australian Mint designer Vladimir Gottwald. The crown was a gift from the King of Saudi Arabia when the Queen got married. This is the only Australian-designed obverse image of current currency. Previously, a designer had designed a portrait of King George V as the pattern for Australian coins at that time. This portrait was only used on the 2000 50c commemorative coin (Royalvisit).

This plant is called Xanthorrhoea, an Australian fragrant tree.
One Australian dollar ($1)
Starting (1966), Australia's one dollar was a paper currency. Later, due to the serious wear and tear of banknotes, and inflation may also be a major factor, coins were issued in 1984. Due to their large circulation, Australian coins issued in 1984 and 1985 are still relatively common today.
Unlike five cents to fifty cents (5c, 10c, 20c, 50c) coins, Australia's one dollar (one Australian dollar) coins contain a relatively high copper content.
