Why the 2025 Bluey $1 was made
After the success of the 2024 Bluey coins, the Royal Australian Mint returned to the show in 2025 with a festive theme. The new coins show Bluey and her sister Bingo celebrating an Australian summer Christmas, a time of beaches, backyard cricket and hot weather that feels very different from the snowy Christmas cards of the Northern Hemisphere. The show has made a point of celebrating that kind of Australian family life, which makes Christmas a natural subject. Bluey was created by Joe Brumm and is set in a Brisbane suburb, so its sunny holiday scenes feel familiar to Australian families.
There are two colored coins, both showing Bluey and Bingo enjoying Christmas. They were made as festive keepsakes for the holiday season rather than for everyday change. The Royal Australian Mint sold them directly to collectors and fans, in packaging suited to a Christmas gift. Like the 2024 coins, they drew strong interest from families. No mintage figure was published in the source for these coins. They're designed as keepsakes for families and fans. Many will come out each December as part of the family Christmas rather than sit in a coin album.
How to recognize it
Both coins show Bluey and Bingo celebrating an Australian summer Christmas, with the artwork printed in color on the coin. The obverse carries Dan Thorne's portrait of King Charles III with 2025 in the legend. The festive scene and the color set these coins apart from the 2024 Bluey designs, which show the Heeler family, Bluey alone and the Grannies. Keep each coin in its original packaging, which is part of the product and protects the color. Read the date on the obverse too, since it is the quickest way to separate the Christmas coins from the 2024 set. The printed color sits on the surface of the coin, so it scratches more easily than the metal around it.
2025 Bluey $1 by the numbers
The Royal Australian Mint has not published a circulation figure for the 2025 Bluey $1 in our source, so it cannot be ranked against other $1 coins yet.
What to check on your 2025 Bluey $1
- Confirm the design and date: Bluey dated 2025.
- Check the shape and size: the $1 is round, 25 mm across, gold-colored and weighs 9 g.
- Look at the surfaces under a light. Coins from mint rolls or sets have unbroken luster; change-worn coins show scuffs on the high points.
- Never clean it. Polishing leaves fine scratches and an unnatural shine that collectors avoid.
No mintage figure was published in the source for these coins, so condition and packaging are what count. Keep the coin in its original packaging. The color is delicate, so avoid touching the surface or exposing it to moisture. Coins brought out every Christmas risk knocks and scratches, so handle them with care. Collectors usually prefer examples that have never been taken out of their packaging. Store the coins somewhere cool and dry outside the holiday season, still in their packaging. If you want one purely for a collection, keep it separate from any you bring out to display.
