| Reverse description | A dynamic figure of a Paralympic athlete is depicted in the upper left field, shown mid-action in a throwing pose with a prosthetic blade leg visible, conveying athletic power and inclusion. Overlaid centrally on the figure is a pad-printed circular disc in dark green and black, representing the Australian Paralympic Committee emblem with stylised design elements. The curved legend AUSTRALIAN PARALYMPIC TEAM runs along the right rim, with the date 2024 inscribed at the lower left of the field. The composition combines struck relief and colour printing to create a vivid commemorative effect. |

| Additional information |
Struck by the Royal Australian Mint for the Paris 2024 Paralympic Games, this piece belongs to the first circulating commemorative series to feature Charles III's effigy on Australian coinage following his accession in September 2022. The pad-printed colour application — applied directly to the coin's surface after striking — is a production technique the RAM has used selectively since the mid-2000s, though achieving consistent adhesion on aluminium bronze at circulation volumes remains technically demanding.
