| Additional information |
The Perth Mint has issued commemorative dollar coins marking royal milestones with considerable regularity, but the 95th birthday issue arrived during an unusual moment: Elizabeth II was observing the occasion privately at Windsor Castle following the death of Prince Philip just days earlier, on April 9, 2021. The birthday itself fell on April 21. Public celebrations were cancelled, and the planned gun salutes were reduced out of respect for the mourning period.
This was among the final commemoratives struck before her death in September 2022 closed the long run of Australian issues bearing her effigy.
