| Additional information |
Part of Perth Mint's ongoing "Shapes of the Sea" wildlife bullion program, this issue targets the crossover market between collector and investor — a deliberate commercial strategy that has driven Australian precious metal sales significantly since the 2010s. The .9999 fine gold specification places it among the purest standard bullion issues produced anywhere, fractionally cleaner than the traditional .9999 floor that many sovereign mints only reached in the last two decades.
The spotted eagle ray, Aetobatus narinari, is native to Australian coastal waters and listed on the IUCN Red List as vulnerable to extinction.
