| Additional information |
Issued under the Perth Mint's ongoing bullion and collector program, this piece commemorates Prince Philip, Duke of Edinburgh — a figure whose relationship with Australia stretched across decades of royal tours and whose death in April 2021 would follow the coin's release by less than a year. Perth has a long habit of getting commemorative timing exactly right, and occasionally slightly wrong.
The .9999 fineness is characteristic of Perth's post-2000 silver output, which moved away from the .999 standard used by most sovereign mints.
