| Additional information |
The "6th portrait" designation places this coin in the post-2023 transition period following Elizabeth II's death in September 2022, when the Perth Mint continued issuing coins in her name under existing licensing arrangements rather than immediately retooling for Charles III — a commercial and contractual reality that created a brief, unusual overlap in Australian numismatic production. Pad printing, rather than traditional coloring methods, applies the red and gold pigments directly onto the struck silver surface with greater precision and durability than enamel techniques.
The Year of the Dragon falls in 2024, the most auspicious sign in the Chinese zodiac cycle, and Perth's lunar series consistently outsells comparable issues from other sovereign mints in Southeast Asian collector markets.
