| Reverse description | A stylised representation of a vinyl record dominates the reverse, rendered in color with pad-printed detail. The central label area of the record features a depiction of a cannon, referencing the iconic use of artillery fire in the band's live performances. The commemorative legend marking the 40th anniversary of AC/DC's landmark album arcs around the design. The overall composition blends pop-culture iconography with traditional numismatic medallic design. |

| Additional information |
Issued to mark the 50th anniversary of AC/DC's formation in Sydney in 1973, this is one of several coins the Royal Australian Mint released in a broader AC/DC commemorative program. The pad-printing process — a technique borrowed from industrial product decoration — allows full-colour surface application onto cupro-nickel blanks without the limitations of traditional enamel inlay, though long-term adhesion remains a documented concern for conservators handling pad-printed Australian commemoratives.
