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.
