Coin | One Dollar 2025 Mob of Roos |
---|
|
The one dollar coin denomination (written as $1) was introduced in Australia in 1984, replacing the earlier banknotes. The original reverse design by Stuart Devlin featuring five kangaroos - known in Australia as the "Mob of Roos" design - has not been changed since its introduction.
Apart from this regular design, the Royal Australian Mint issues a large variety of circulating commemorative one dollar coins.
Coins issued in 2025 have now been in circulation for less than one year. |

Obverse | |
The obverse of the coin displays the bust of King Charles III, which depicts him bare-headed (uncrowned) and wearing a suit and tie, facing left.
Below the shoulder truncation in tiny letters, the artist's initials DT (for Dan Thorne).
Around the rim, the monarch's legend and the date of issue: CHARLES III · AUSTRALIA 2025.
