Decorative ribbons and foliage extend behind the supporters into the field. The large numeral 50 is prominently displayed in the lower portion of the design, with the engraver's initials SD visible at lower right. No peripheral legend appears on the reverse. |

| Additional information |
The first Australian coins bearing Charles III's effigy entered circulation in 2023, with the portrait by Australians Martin Mulla and Vladimir Gottwald selected through a competitive process — the first time Australia had conducted an open portrait competition for a new monarch. This 2025 bullion issue uses that same first portrait before any potential revision to the obverse.
At 33.63 g of .9999 fine gold, the piece corresponds to the traditional one-troy-ounce bullion format the RAM adopted for its sovereign-series gold program.
