| Additional information |
Part of the Royal Australian Mint's — actually Perth Mint's — ongoing colored and plated commemorative program, this piece honors the Fokker aircraft, specifically its role in Australian aviation history through airlines like Ansett and the regional carriers that flew Fokker F27s and F28s across the continent well into the 1990s. The Netherlands-designed Fokker line became quietly indispensable to Australian domestic routes that larger jets couldn't economically serve.
Perth's gold-plated .999 silver dollar series from this period was produced in strictly limited runs, typically under 7,500 pieces, with the plating applied before striking to achieve crisp relief definition.
