| Additional information |
Australia's bullion wombat series launched in 2022, initially under Elizabeth II's portrait before her death that September forced a mid-series transition. This 2024 piece carries the first official effigy of Charles III used on Perth Mint issues — Jody Clark's portrait, originally developed for the Royal Mint's UK coinage, adopted by Australian minting authorities for colonial-era continuity. The wombat itself is an unusual choice for a bullion series; most sovereign programs default to apex predators or national symbols with broader international market appeal. Perth backed the animal specifically for its distinctly Australian identity in a competitive collector-bullion crossover market.
