| Reverse description | The reverse features a pad-printed polychrome depiction of Bluey, the animated blue heeler puppy protagonist of the Australian children's television series, shown in a cheerful standing pose with one arm raised and holding a small floral handbag. To the right of the character, an incuse engraving depicts a Queensland-style building representing the Dollarbucks store from the show. The show's title BLUEY is inscribed in stylised lettering at the top of the field, while the denomination legend 1 BUCK and 1 DOLLAR appear in the lower portion of the reverse. |

| Additional information |
Issued as part of the Royal Australian Mint's ongoing licensed character program, this piece pairs the first Australian-portrait coinage of Charles III with Bluey, the ABC Kids animated series that became an unexpected global phenomenon — the show's international streaming numbers on Disney+ reportedly surpassed those of most live-action productions by 2023. The pad-printing process, rather than a coloured insert or enamel, keeps the disc within standard vending tolerances while allowing full chromatic reproduction.
