| Reverse description | The reverse features a dynamic composition of stylised pictogram athletes representing multiple Commonwealth Games disciplines, including cycling, swimming, athletics, shooting, gymnastics, and wheelchair racing, arranged across the central field in an energetic overlapping design. The figures are rendered in a bold, graphic style evoking the official iconography of the 2022 Birmingham Commonwealth Games. The curved legend 2022 AUSTRALIAN COMMONWEALTH GAMES TEAM arcs around the upper portion of the field, while the word EXCELLENCE is inscribed along the lower rim in capital letters. |

| Additional information |
The 2022 Commonwealth Games, held in Birmingham, marked the first time the Games had returned to England since 2002. Australia's mint issued a short series of themed circulation dollars around the event, of which this "Excellence" piece is one. These were distributed into general circulation rather than sold exclusively through collector channels — making mint-state examples harder to find than their mintage figures might suggest.
