The legend 'NARROWS BRIDGE - PERTH' arcs along the upper rim, while '1 OUNCE FINE SILVER' is inscribed vertically along the left field. The denomination 'ONE DOLLAR' appears in the lower exergue in raised lettering. |

| Additional information |
The Narrows Bridge opened in 1959 as Perth's first bridge crossing the Swan River, ending decades of reliance on ferry crossings between the city and the southern suburbs. The Royal Australian Mint's Capital Bridges series, launched in 2011, paired each Australian state and territory capital with a significant span — a niche thematic direction that attracted strong collector interest domestically but limited secondary market depth internationally.
KM#1505 is one of several releases in the series struck to the same bullion-adjacent specification, meaning spot price movements tend to anchor its value more firmly than collector premiums alone.
