| Obverse description | Uncrowned effigy of King Charles III facing left, modelled by engraver Dominic Tan, with the designer's initials DT visible in the field below the truncation. The circumferential legend reads CHARLES III to the upper left and AUSTRALIA 2025 to the upper right, with the denomination 50 CENTS displayed in the lower field. Two small dots flank the effigy at the lower left and right, a decorative element characteristic of Australian 50-cent coinage. The portrait, the first official effigy of Charles III used on Australian coinage, presents the King in a contemporary style without crown or regalia. |
