| Additional information |
The Perth Mint's Australian Saltwater Crocodile bullion series drew on genuine ecological authority — Australia's Northern Territory hosts the largest population of saltwater crocodiles on earth, with numbers recovering sharply after federal protection was granted in 1971 following near-extinction from hide hunting. The series capitalized on sustained Asian market demand for Australian wildlife silver, a category Perth had been building methodically since the 1990s Kookaburra program proved the commercial model.
KM# 204 places this issue within the one-ounce fine silver bullion run, struck to Perth's customary proof-like finish with individual capsule packaging and a mintage cap of 50,000 pieces.
