| Additional information |
The Wedge-tailed Eagle bullion series launched by the Perth Mint drew directly on Australia's long-standing use of the species as a national emblem, though this aluminium bronze circulation-weight dollar occupies an awkward middle ground — neither a bullion piece nor a standard issue, and consequently underrepresented in serious collections. The fourth portrait of Elizabeth II by Ian Rank-Broadley had been in circulation use across Australian coinage since 1999, making 2008 a mid-run year with no particular minting event attached to it.
KM#1174 sees relatively modest collector attention despite the series' popularity in silver.
