1c -possum
2c - frill necked lizard
5c - echidna
10c - lyrebird
20c - platypus
50c - coat of arms (kangaroo and emu)
$1 - more kangaroos
$2 - an indigenous gentleman

The queen picture has been recently updated - all older coins have a young lizzy, but this was replaced in the last few years with an older lizzy.

Both the 50c and $1 have a selection of different 'fronts' (assuming the queen is on the back...), though the shape and size remains the same.
