| Additional information |
The Wedge-tailed Eagle series from Perth has quietly become one of the more competitive modern bullion programs in the Asia-Pacific market, drawing direct comparisons to the Vienna Philharmonic and Canadian Maple Leaf as a pure-.9999 fine instrument. The high-relief variant exists entirely outside the bullion track — produced in intentionally small mintages on specially prepared planchets with multiple die passes, a process that forces the metal into deeper recesses and creates the characteristic frosted device contrast impossible to achieve in standard production.
Ian Rank-Broadley's fourth portrait of Elizabeth II, used here, was already being phased toward retirement by 2018, giving this issue an incidental transitional character within the series.
