Surrounding inscriptions identify the issuing nation and coin specifications, including “CHARLES III,” “AUSTRALIA,” “1 DOLLAR,” and “1 oz 9999 Ag.” The clean layout reflects Perth Mint’s modern bullion design language while confirming the coin’s weight, purity, and legal tender status.

The design is completed by the year of issue “2025” and The Perth Mint’s “P” mint mark, verifying its origin.
