| Reverse description | A colourful pad-printed design featuring the four original Wiggles — Greg, Murray, Anthony, and Jeff — each depicted in their signature coloured skivvies (yellow, red, blue, and purple respectively) playing guitars in the lower portion of the design. Musical notes and stars radiate across the upper field, evoking the group's musical character. The commemorative legend appears at the top and bottom of the design, marking the thirtieth anniversary of the ensemble's founding. |

| Additional information |
The Wiggles formed in Sydney in 1991, emerging from the early childhood education faculty at Macquarie University — Greg Page, Murray Cook, Anthony Field, and Jeff Fatt all had backgrounds in child development before pivoting to performance. By 2021 the group had become one of Australia's highest-grossing entertainment exports, which made the commemorative issue politically easy for the Mint to justify. The pad-printing process, rather than conventional die engraving, allowed the colour saturation necessary to distinguish the four original members by their signature shirt colours — a technical workaround that conventional struck coinage simply could not achieve.
