| Additional information |
Perth Mint's platinum bullion program has occupied an unusual commercial position since its revival in the late 1990s — competing directly with the Canadian Maple Leaf and American Eagle in a market where Australia holds no particular geographic advantage in platinum production, the metal coming overwhelmingly from South Africa and Russia. The Unicorn belongs to the Queen's Beast series, a set of ten heraldic supporters drawn from the Royal Arms of England, which Perth licensed from the Royal Mint's original concept after that series concluded.
The .9995 fineness fractionally exceeds the .9995 floor required for IRA eligibility in the United States, a detail that drove considerable North American distribution of this issue.
