| Reverse description | The reverse features a pad-printed coloured design depicting a female surfer riding a wave in a dynamic crouching stance on her surfboard, her arms extended for balance and her long hair flowing behind her. A stylised geometric chevron motif frames the composition in the field, rendered in aluminium bronze against a vivid blue coloured background evoking breaking surf. The denomination $1 appears in the upper field, the inscription SURFING is incused across the central design, and the Perth Mint mintmark P is positioned within the geometric frame at centre right. The designer's initials NM appear at the lower rim. |

| Additional information |
Part of the Perth Mint's "Young Collectors" series aimed at drawing children into the hobby, this dollar was pad-printed rather than struck with coloured inks — a process the Perth Mint had been refining since the early 2000s and which repeatedly drew scrutiny from purists questioning whether printed coins belong in a numismatic catalog at all. The aluminium bronze substrate is standard circulation issue spec, but these were never intended for the till.
