| Additional information |
The Maklouf effigy — the third portrait of Elizabeth II used on Commonwealth coinage — was actually retired from Australian circulation issues in 1999 when the Ian Rank-Broadley portrait took over, making its reappearance on later commemorative and proof issues something of a deliberate nostalgia play by the RAM. Raphael Maklouf's original design was commissioned in 1985 and first appeared on British coinage that year before being adopted across Commonwealth mints.
KM# 2045 places this among a cluster of proof issues the Royal Australian Mint produced in 2013 specifically revisiting earlier effigy types — a series aimed squarely at portrait collectors rather than date collectors.
