| Additional information |
The Perth Mint's platinum bullion series featuring Australian wildlife launched in the late 1980s as a direct competitive response to the Canadian Maple Leaf's dominance of the platinum investment market. The saltwater crocodile — the largest living reptile, capable of exceeding six meters — is native to northern Australia and carries genuine national significance beyond decorative choice. The .9995 fineness is marginally purer than the standard .9990 used by most sovereign mints, a deliberate specification Perth has maintained to differentiate its product in the bullion market.
