Above them is the Chinese character for “Mouse,” below lies the inscription Year of the Mouse, and the Perth Mint “P” mintmark completes the design.

The obverse features Ian Rank-Broadley’s elegant effigy of Queen Elizabeth II, crowned and facing right. The surrounding inscriptions read: ELIZABETH II – AUSTRALIA – 1 DOLLAR – 2008 – 1oz 999 SILVER.
