| Additional information |
The Australian/American Memorial in Canberra commemorates the alliance forged during the Pacific War, formally dedicated in 1941 and expanded over subsequent decades. Perth Mint's bullion program has long used such national monuments as reverse subjects, a practice that keeps the series commercially distinct from the Kangaroo issues while targeting the collector-investor overlap market. The KM#2074 assignment places this squarely within the broader 2013 bullion output, a year when Perth Mint was aggressively expanding themed fractional gold in response to sustained Asian demand.
The .9999 fineness — four nines — was Perth's competitive answer to the Royal Canadian Mint's purity claims in the late 1990s and became standard across their gold program by the early 2000s.
