| Reverse description | Full-colour depiction of Splinter, the anthropomorphic rat sensei from the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles franchise, portrayed in a dynamic martial arts stance at centre field, wearing a magenta gi adorned with a gold trefoil emblem and a dark red belt, with bandaged feet and a coiled tail. Radiating speed lines and shattered debris fill the background in the manner of classic comic-book action art. The character name SPLINTER is inscribed in large block letters along the lower arc of the field. The Perth Mint's P mintmark appears to the left, the engraver's initials LB to the lower right, and the copyright notice © 2025 Viacom Overseas Holdings C.V. is incused along the upper inner border. |

| Additional information |
The "splinter" format — a thin rectangular silver bar fitted into a coin-shaped carrier — was developed by the Perth Mint as a way to present .9999 fine silver in a hybrid collectible form that satisfies both bullion and numismatic buyers without fully committing to either category. The format has no meaningful circulation history; these are produced strictly for the collector market and move almost exclusively through dealer networks and direct mint sales.
Charles III's accession coinage from Perth has been struck under the Ian Rank-Broadley obverse portrait authority, the same effigy licensing arrangement Australia maintained through the late Elizabeth II years.
