    The central part features the Australian coat of arms with animal depictions - a Kangaroo on the left and an Emu on the right (unofficial national emblems), which support the shield and are shown standing on grass. Below is a ribbon with the inscription "ADVANCE AUSTRALIA". Above the shield is a rope-like line, and above that, a seven-pointed star. The six points of the star represent the six states, and the seventh represents the combined territories and Australia. Along the upper edge arc is the inscription: "SIXPENCE". Along the lower edge arc is the issue date "1928", placed between two heraldic roses. The coin's edge features decorative toothed elements.
