| Reverse description | Central field features a pad-printed depiction of Bingo, the younger sibling character from the Australian animated television series Bluey, shown in a playful standing pose with arms raised. The denomination legend 1 DOLLAR BUCK arcs along the upper periphery in a rounded, cartoon-style typeface consistent with the Bluey franchise branding. The character's name BLUEY appears in large stylised lettering along the lower field, rendered in the show's distinctive logo script. |

| Additional information |
The Royal Australian Mint's "Dollarbucks" and "Bingo" releases belong to a broader push by the RAM to drive coin collecting among children and younger audiences — a demographic that has largely grown up cashless. These pad-printed dollar coins use a process applied after striking, bonding ink directly to the metal surface to achieve colour effects that standard dies cannot produce. The technique has been used by the RAM since the early 2000s and remains a domestic specialty.
