| Additional information |
Part of Perth Mint's long-running lunar and bullion program, this one-troy-ounce .9999 fine gold issue was struck under the authority granted to the Perth Mint by the Gold Corporation Act 1987, which remains the legal basis for all Perth Mint bullion coinage. The facility has operated continuously since 1899, originally as a branch of the Royal Mint, and retains its reputation for exceptionally tight quality control on four-nines gold — a purity standard that Perth adopted earlier and more consistently than most sovereign mints.
