| Additional information |
The Australian Striped Marlin issue belongs to Perth Mint's broader push into the colored wildlife bullion market, a segment the mint has developed aggressively since the mid-2000s to compete with the Royal Canadian Mint's dominant position in premium silver bullion. The striped marlin — a species closely associated with Australian sport fishing off the east coast — was part of a short run of marine-themed releases that year, each struck to a limited mintage with the colored finish applied post-strike.
Jody Clark's sixth portrait of Elizabeth II, adopted by Perth for Australian issues from 2019 onward, appears here for one of its earlier uses on a bullion format coin.
