| Reverse description | The central field features the Football Federation Australia (FFA) circular logo — depicting three stylised football boot shapes arranged within a roundel — set against a pad-printed teal-coloured background evoking the panels and texture of a football. Radiating outward from the central device, geometric lattice and star motifs are rendered in relief against the coloured field. The legend SOCCEROOS is inscribed along the upper border, and the centenary dates 1922 - 2022 appear along the lower border, commemorating one hundred years of the Australian national men's football team. |

| Additional information |
The Socceroos' centenary traces to 1922, when Australia played its first officially recognized international match against New Zealand. The team's path to consistent World Cup qualification took decades longer — their most painful near-miss came in 1970, when they lost a playoff to Rhodesia that would have sent them to Mexico. The pad-printed color application on this circulation-intended issue reflects a technique the Royal Australian Mint has increasingly deployed for commemoratives since the mid-2010s, allowing chromatic detail impossible through conventional striking on a coin of this diameter.
