| Additional information |
The Perth Mint's annual holiday dollar issues occupy an odd corner of the modern bullion-collector crossover market — struck to legal tender specification but never intended for circulation, functioning essentially as premium seasonal gifts sold through the Mint's own retail channels. The 2017 issue falls within a run that saw production numbers kept deliberately low to sustain secondary market interest, though exact mintage figures for individual holiday releases from this period vary by sales channel and packaging configuration.
Elizabeth II's fourth portrait, by Ian Rank-Broadley, was already two decades old by 2017 — introduced in 1998 and eventually replaced on Australian coinage in 2019 by the Jody Clark effigy.
