| Obverse description | Uncrowned effigy of King Charles III facing left, rendered in high relief in the first official portrait used on Australian coinage, designed by Dominic Tassell. The king is depicted with a draped bust, his naturally styled hair and facial features rendered with fine detail against a mirror-polished field. The legend 'CHARLES III AUSTRALIA' arcs along the upper periphery, flanked by two raised dots, while the inscription '1oz 9999 Ag 1 DOLLAR' curves along the lower field. The engraver's initials 'DT' appear discreetly below the truncation of the bust. The gilded rim frames the entire obverse. |

| Reverse description | The reverse features a central cartographic outline of the Australian continent with a marked dot at Ophir, New South Wales, commemorating the site of Australia's first official gold rush of 1851, alongside the anniversary numeral '175'. Behind the map, a crossed shovel and pickaxe form a heraldic saltire. Surrounding the central composition are detailed vignettes of goldfields life, including a miner's lantern, a pitched tent, a wheelbarrow laden with alluvial material, a hand holding a gold panning dish, a bucket, and a cradle rocker, all set upon rugged terrain rendered in fine relief. The upper legend reads 'AUSTRALIA'S FIRST GOLD RUSH', with the Perth Mint mintmark 'P', engraver's initials 'AH', and the date '2026' appearing in the lower field. |
