Design Details
Obverse
The obverse features the left-profile portrait of His Majesty King Charles III. Created for the Perth Mint by artist Dan Thorne, the effigy presents the monarch without a crown, following the traditional convention for male British monarchs. Surrounding inscriptions include the monarch’s name, issuing nation, and denomination.
Reverse
The reverse showcases the iconic leaping kangaroo design. Depicted in left-profile relief, the kangaroo appears bounding across the landscape with stylized sun rays radiating across the background field. The design is inspired by the historic kangaroo motif originally used on Australian copper pennies and remains one of the most recognizable symbols of Australia.
