Additional information

The "6 in 1" designation refers to the coin's plating sequence across six precious and platinum-group metals — gold, silver, platinum, rhodium, palladium, and ruthenium — making it more a demonstration of refinery capability than a conventional bullion or commemorative issue. Rhodium and ruthenium plating on collector coins was a genuine novelty at the time; ruthenium in particular, the rarest of the platinum-group metals by natural abundance, had almost no history in numismatic application before the early 2010s.
