| Reverse description | A falcon depicted in dynamic full-flight profile, wings fully extended and angled downward, talons extended beneath the body, set against a finely lined background within a circular border. The bird is rendered in sharp, deeply struck relief capturing intricate feather detail across the wings, breast, and tail. The legend 2024 FALCON arcs along the upper periphery outside the inner circle. The Perth Mint privy mark P125 appears to the right of the falcon in the field, with the designer's initials JM incuse at lower right. |

| Additional information |
Perth Mint's bullion falcon series has run under shifting royal portraits since Elizabeth II, but the 2024 issue marks the first appearance of Charles III's effigy — sculpted by King's portrait artist Jody Clark — on this particular program. The 1/4 oz .9999 fine specification places it within Australia's legal tender bullion framework under the Currency Act 1965, giving Perth Mint exclusive authority to produce gold legal tender coin on behalf of the Australian government.
The falcon denomination has historically drawn collector crossover from raptor-themed series, keeping secondary market premiums above spot more stubbornly than comparable fractional issues.
