Ian Rank-Broadley’s latest royal portrait of Queen Elizabeth II adorns the obverse of the 2012 ½ oz Proof Gold Whale Shark. Her Majesty is facing right, directly at the inscription of the issuing country. Her name is inscribed along the top-left quarter of the rim, while the legal tender denomination of AUS "50 DOLLARS" is at the bottom, bordered by bullet points on each side.

The reverse features a rather impressionistic depiction of a Whale Shark, the massive animal having its large mouth wide open, and surrounded by fish. It is impressive that these slow moving, timid creatures are a species of shark and do not surface for air. They are filter feeders; feeding mainly on plankton, fish eggs or vert small fish. The seabed is brilliantly designed. We find the inscriptions "DISCOVER AUSTRALIA" , "WHALE SHARK," the "P" mint mark, as well as the year of issue, purity, and weight of the coin are inscribed on the mirror-like surface of the rim
