| Reverse description | The reverse displays the official emblem of the Melbourne Football Club (MFC), comprising a shield bearing a stylised montage of the letters M, F, and C. Surrounding the central shield is an outer decorative circle incorporating silhouettes of spectators, evoking the atmosphere of an AFL stadium. The club name MELBOURNE MFC appears prominently, with the full designation MELBOURNE FOOTBALL CLUB completing the legend around the design. The composition is rendered in a bold, graphic style consistent with modern Australian commemorative sports coinage. |

| Additional information |
Part of the Royal Australian Mint's long-running AFL club series, this issue coincides with the Melbourne Football Club's 2023 season — the club itself founded in 1858, making it the oldest continuously operating Australian rules football club in existence. The series has drawn consistent criticism from traditionalists who view it as commercialisation of the circulating dollar, though demand from club supporters reliably clears mintages quickly.
