| Additional information |
The Perth Mint's two-ounce gold bullion program occupies an unusual position in the Australian market — these are legal tender coins produced under the Royal Australian Mint Act's licensing framework, but sold entirely on precious metal content rather than face value, which has been nominally fixed at 200 dollars since the series expanded in the 1990s. The sixth portrait of Elizabeth II, by sculptor Jody Clark, was adopted by the Perth Mint later than most Commonwealth mints, creating a transitional period where Australian issues carried mismatched effigies across denominations.
KM#4239 is among the last issues to bear this portrait before the Queen's death in September 2022 closed the series.
