| Reverse description | The reverse depicts a dramatic full-colour pad-printed image of the supervillain Weather Control, a muscular figure shown in dynamic frontal pose with arms outstretched, surrounded by crackling lightning and electrical energy rendered in vivid blue, white, and green tones. The character looms above a stylised urban cityscape engraved in the aluminium bronze field, conveying a sense of destructive power. The inscription WEATHER CONTROL appears incuse on a bold diagonal banner in the lower portion of the field. The Perth Mint mintmark P is visible to the right of the cityscape, and the legend TV appears as part of the reverse design referencing the associated animated series. |

| Additional information |
Part of the Perth Mint's "Young Collectors" series aimed at introducing children to coin collecting, this dollar belongs to a run of thematic issues that leaned heavily on science and nature subjects during the 2010s. The pad-printing technique — a process borrowed from industrial manufacturing that transfers ink via a silicone pad onto the coin's surface — was still relatively novel in Australian coinage at this time, allowing color detail that conventional minting cannot achieve.
