At the base of the coin, a capsule houses genuine loose sapphires that move freely within the locket. Around the rim is the inscription TREASURES OF AUSTRALIA. On the obverse, the effigy of Queen Elizabeth II by Ian Rank-Broadley is depicted, surrounded by the inscriptions ELIZABETH II • AUSTRALIA 2007 • 1 DOLLAR • 1 oz 999 SILVER. The locket with sapphires remains visible from both sides, enhancing the coin’s originality.

As part of the celebrated Treasures of Australia Series, which included sapphires, opals, pearls, diamonds, and gold, this coin symbolizes the fusion of precious metal and gemstones. Its rarity, proof finish, and artistic execution make it an essential piece for collectors of Australian and gemstone-themed coins.
