| Additional information |
Perth Mint introduced platinum into its bullion kangaroo program in 2011, giving investors a platinum-specific vehicle to complement the long-running gold series. The sixth portrait of Elizabeth II — the final effigy used before her death in September 2022 — makes examples struck in that final year transitional pieces in the series, as production of coins bearing her likeness ceased almost immediately after.
Platinum's industrial demand, particularly in automotive catalytic converters, ties its spot price to manufacturing cycles in ways gold never experiences — a fact that has historically suppressed collector premiums despite the metal's rarity relative to gold.
