A flowing ribbon banner across the lower central field bears the commemorative inscriptions in two registers, with the date 2025 on a further scroll below.

| Additional information |
Australia's involvement in the Pacific War ended formally on 15 August 1945 — V-P Day — a date that carries particular weight in Australian national memory given the proximity of the fighting and the toll of the Sandakan death marches and Kokoda campaign. The 80th anniversary issues from Australian mints have drawn on that Pacific focus rather than the European theatre.
This is Charles III's first effigy to appear on the standard Australian dollar series, replacing the long-running Jody Clark portrait used during the transitional period following Elizabeth II's death in 2022.
