| Additional information |
The Royal Australian Mint's Alphabet Collection ran across three years, issuing individual letters as separate releases — a deliberate retail strategy targeting collector sets rather than circulation. The pad printing process used here applies color directly onto the struck surface through a silicone transfer mechanism, a technique the RAM adopted commercially in the 2010s to compete with the Perth Mint's expanding colored coin market.
KM#2748 covers the full letter run, meaning individual letters within the series share the same catalog reference despite being distinct releases.
