| Reverse description | A coloured three-quarter view of a teal 1965 Ford XP Falcon sedan occupies the centre of the field, rendered with meticulous detail to the bodywork, chrome trim, grille, and wheels. The background features an engraved tyre-tread pattern divided into geometric sections suggesting asphalt and rubber texture. The commemorative Ford 100 Years logo, applied in blue and purple colour, appears in the upper centre of the field. The legend 100 YEARS OF FORD AUSTRALIA 2025 curves along the upper periphery, while XP FALCON - 1965 is inscribed along the lower right. |

| Additional information |
This release commemorates the 60th anniversary of the decimal dollar introduced on 14 February 1966, when Australia abandoned pounds, shillings, and pence in one of the most logistically complex currency changeovers the Commonwealth had attempted. The XP Falcon — launched the same year — became an unlikely symbol of that transitional moment, a domestically produced car for a newly decimal nation. The Royal Australian Mint has used that cultural coincidence as the hook for a collector issue bearing Charles III's first portrait for Australian coinage.
