| Obverse description | Uncrowned effigy of King Charles III facing left, rendered in high relief with fine sculptural detail to the hair and facial features. The bust is shown draped in a suit jacket with a shirt collar and tie visible at the truncation. The peripheral legend reads CHARLES III to the left and AUSTRALIA 2026 to the right, separated by a raised dot, all in incuse lettering along the rim. The engraver's initials DT appear in small characters beneath the truncation of the bust. The field is otherwise plain and unadorned. |

| Reverse description | A coloured commemorative design depicting the 1941 Battles of Greece and Crete. In the upper field, a formation of Junkers aircraft advances from the right while German parachutes descend through the sky above. At centre, an Australian Army soldier mans an anti-aircraft gun, shown in a determined firing stance atop a stylised architectural structure inspired by Minoan columns, evoking the cultural heritage of Crete. A horizontal register of standing figures along the lower portion of the design symbolises those wounded, killed, or captured during the campaign. Selective colour printing in blue and white references the stripes of the Greek national flag, lending visual distinction to the patriotic composition. |
