The portrait is the first official Australian coinage effigy of Charles III, sculpted by Dominic Tassell. The legend 'CHARLES III' arcs along the upper left periphery and 'AUSTRALIA 2026' arcs along the upper right, separated by a raised dot. The engraver's initials 'DT' appear in small relief at the lower right of the portrait, within the field. |

| Additional information |
Australia's Federation in 1901 was itself a prolonged negotiation — six self-governing colonies spent nearly a decade arguing over tariffs, river rights, and the site of the capital before agreeing to unite. The 125th anniversary falls in 2026, making this one of the earlier commemorative dollars issued under Charles III's portrait, which replaced the long-running Elizabeth II effigy following her death in 2022.
