| Additional information |
Australia's silver Kangaroo bullion series has cycled through multiple obverse portraits since its introduction, with the sixth effigy of Elizabeth II — sculpted by Jody Clark — first adopted by the Perth Mint on its bullion issues following the Royal Australian Mint's transition in 2019. The 2023 date places this coin in the brief window after the queen's death in September 2022, meaning it carries a portrait of a monarch who had already died before the striking year concluded — a circumstance common in Commonwealth coinage but always quietly noted by date collectors.
