6th crowned portrait of Queen Elizabeth II facing right, wearing the George IV State Diadem and the Victorian Coronation Necklace

Back design

The design takes inspiration from the Japanese art of origami, with some of the figures depicted looking like folded paper. It features four swimmers in a pool divided into swimming lanes, each followed by a Koi Carp fish symbolising the perseverance required in the tough journey to become an elite athlete. At the starting positions, five origami carp. The stylised half‑border below left is a geometric pattern also representing folded origami. In the fifth lane, the official logo of the Australian Olympic Committee (a kangaroo and emu, between them the seven-pointed Federation Star of Australia, below them the five interlocked Olympic circles). Below that, a rectangular cartouche enclosing the Japanese language characters 東京 (in Kanji: Tokyo).
