The legend 'AUSTRALIAN PARALYMPIC TEAM' arcs along the upper rim, with 'AWB' and 'PARIS 2024' completing the inscription in the lower field. |

| Additional information |
Australia's Paralympic team has been among the most decorated in the Games' modern history, consistently finishing in the top three nations by gold medal count across multiple Summer Paralympics. This coin was released ahead of the Paris 2024 Paralympics, where Australia sent one of its largest ever delegations. The Royal Australian Mint has issued collector pieces tied to Australian Olympic and Paralympic campaigns since the 1990s, though the shift toward fine silver with gold plating as a base format became standard practice only in the last decade or so.
