| Additional information |
Perth Mint's high-relief strikes in this format require significantly greater die pressure and multiple passes, which limits usable output per die pair and accounts for the premium over standard bullion issues. The Charles III obverse — sculpted by Samlor — was introduced following the King's accession in September 2022 and appears here in its first portrait iteration, before any revised effigy is adopted.
