| Additional information |
Issued to mark Charles's 60th birthday on November 14, 2008, this coin belongs to a wave of Perth Mint commemoratives that pioneered pad printing on silver — a process borrowed from industrial ceramics and watch-face manufacturing that allowed full-color surface decoration without enamel inlay. The technique was still novel enough in 2008 that early examples sometimes show ink adhesion inconsistencies across the printed field.
