| Additional information |
The Perth Mint's "antiqued" finish — achieved through deliberate chemical patination rather than circulation — was developed to satisfy collector demand for a worn aesthetic without the actual handling history. This piece belongs to a bullion-adjacent series that straddles the line between investment silver and numismatic product, a commercial category the Perth Mint has aggressively expanded since the 1990s as Australian sovereign minting authority was restructured away from the Royal Australian Mint for collector and bullion issues.
The fourth portrait of Elizabeth II, by Ian Rank-Broadley, was introduced across Commonwealth coinage in 1998 following the Mint's transition away from Raphael Maklouf's third effigy.
