The 14-carat gold format used here — .585 fineness rather than the more conventional .999 or .9167 — reflects a deliberate cost-containment strategy common in Cook Islands commemorative miniature issues of this period, where sub-gram weights allowed collector accessibility at lower price points. Bradman's Test batting average of 99.94 remains the central obsession of cricket statistics; no other player in history has come within twenty points of it across a comparable career.
