| Additional information |
Perth Mint issues novelty collector dollars of this type in substantial quantities specifically for the gift market, with "Happy Birthday" among the most commercially driven releases in the program. These pieces rarely circulate — they move from capsule to card sleeve to display shelf — which makes worn examples essentially nonexistent.
The 6th Portrait of Elizabeth II, by Jody Clark, was introduced to Australian coinage in 2019.
