| Reverse description | The reverse features a dynamic pad-printed coloured design centred on a large geometric star motif rendered in green, gold, and teal — the colours associated with the Birmingham 2022 Commonwealth Games. Superimposed over the star are two raised relief figures depicting athletes in action: a gymnast performing an airborne somersault in the upper field and a para-cyclist in a low aerodynamic racing position in the lower field. The official Birmingham 2022 Commonwealth Games logo appears to the left, with the inscription BIRMINGHAM 2022 along the lower left and COMMONWEALTH GAMES to its right. |

| Additional information |
Australia hosted no events at Birmingham 2022 — the Games came to them as a broadcaster and participant, with the Australian team finishing first on the medal table for the eleventh time in Commonwealth Games history. The Royal Australian Mint issued this dollar as part of a broader coloured and standard circulation release program tied to the event, a marketing approach the Mint has leaned on heavily since the Sydney 2000 era to drive collector demand for face-value coinage.
