| Additional information |
The "Swimming Pool" dollar is part of the RAM's ongoing coloured circulation strike program, where standard planchets receive a spot of colour applied after striking — a technique the mint has used since the late 1990s to distinguish commemorative issues without altering the coin's legal tender status or composition. Charles III's first portrait for Australian coinage, sculpted by King's official effigy artist Martin Jennings, entered circulation in 2023, making 2025 issues among the earliest releases under the new obverse.
