Obverse

For the obverse design of 2020 Proof Australian Lunar Mouse 1 oz Silver Coins, the Perth Mint debuts the sixth-generation effigy of Queen Elizabeth II for the first time in its lunar-themed designs. This right-profile bust of the Queen was created by Jody Clark and is the first Australian effigy of Her Majesty since 1966 to include her neckline and shoulders in the design. She wears the Royal Diadem crown, formally known as the George IV State Diadem, on her head. She also wears earrings and the Victorian coronation necklace.

Reverse

In the reverse imagery of the 2020 Proof Australian Lunar Mouse High Relief Coins, Ing Ing Jongs Year of the Mouse design features. It depicts two mice climbing on a corn stalk. Having peeled back the husk, the mice enjoy a hard-earned meal of corn kernels. These high-relief proofs are struck on thick blanks with deep obverse and reverse fields that enable greater 3D visuals for the design elements on both sides.
