The central part features the Australian Coat of Arms: a kangaroo and an emu supporting a shield on a mound, above which is the Commonwealth Star, below it a torse, and beneath the shield the motto ADVANCE AUSTRALIA. Below the coat of arms, enclosed within heraldic roses, is the issue date '1921' and the mint mark: "M" - Melbourne, Australia.
