| Obverse description | Bare-headed effigy of King Charles III facing left, rendered in high relief with finely detailed hair and collar, as sculpted by Davide Tavecchio for Australian coinage. The legend 'CHARLES III' arcs along the upper left field and 'AUSTRALIA' along the upper right, separated by the effigy. The denomination '1 DOLLAR' is inscribed along the lower arc, flanked by two raised dots. The engraver's initials 'DT' appear in small characters at the lower right of the portrait truncation. |

| Additional information |
The "Happy Birthday" bullion and commemorative program has been a reliable annual revenue stream for the Perth Mint for years, targeting the gift market rather than collectors in any serious numismatic sense. This 2024 issue is among the first Perth Mint dollar strikes to carry the Atkins portrait of Charles III — the effigy approved for Australian coinage following the King's accession in September 2022, replacing the long-running Jody Clark likeness used across Commonwealth mints.
