| Reverse description | Central field depicts the animated characters Bluey and Judo as infant blue heeler puppies, shown in a crawling race pose with arms raised and mouths open in exuberant effort, separated by a starting gate. A smaller puppy figure appears between them at the lower centre. The scene references the 'Baby Race' episode of the Australian animated television series Bluey. The legend BABY RACE arcs along the upper periphery in a rounded cartoon-style typeface, with the series logotype BLUEY inscribed along the lower field in the same stylised lettering. |

| Additional information |
Bluey, the Brisbane-based animated series produced by Ludo Studio, became the most-watched program in ABC iview history shortly after its 2018 debut and has since accumulated viewing figures in the United States that rival legacy children's franchises decades in the making. The "Baby Race" episode — in which Bluey learns to walk while comparing herself to peers — is among the most discussed in the series for its adult-directed emotional undercurrent, which contributed to the show's unusually broad demographic reach.
This is the first Australian circulating coin to feature Charles III's effigy alongside the Bluey franchise, the portrait here being King's first official coinage portrait rather than the transitional effigy used on some 2023–24 issues.
