The "Voyage of Discovery" branding has been applied to numerous Perth Mint issues, but this particular release draws on the tradition of Australian commemorative coinage that leans heavily into the nation's colonial maritime history — specifically the Dutch and British expeditions charting the continent's coastline from the early seventeenth century onward. The antiqued finish, achieved through a chemical patination process applied post-strike, is intended to evoke aged silver rather than bullion freshness.
The sixth portrait of Elizabeth II, by Jody Clark, was adopted by the Perth Mint beginning in 2015 following its introduction on UK coinage.
