| Reverse description | A finely detailed depiction of a Barn Owl (Tyto alba) perched upon a branch with wings raised and spread, shown in a dynamic, alert posture facing left. The bird's characteristic heart-shaped facial disc, taloned feet gripping the branch, and intricately rendered feather detail are rendered in high relief against a wavy-line guilloche background contained within a raised inner circle. The curved legend 'BARN OWL' arcs along the upper field, preceded by the date '2023'. The Perth Mint's 'P' mintmark appears to the lower right within the inner circle, and the engraver's initials 'NM' are inscribed at the lower left of the field. |

| Additional information |
Perth Mint's annual Australian Barn Owl bullion release occupies a specific niche in the market: fractional quarter-ounce gold priced accessibly for retail stackers while carrying the legal tender backing of the Australian government under the Currency Act 1965. The sixth portrait of Elizabeth II — sculpted by Jody Clark and adopted by the Perth Mint in 2015 — appears here despite her death in September 2022, making 2023-dated issues among the last to bear it before the transition to Charles III coinage began working through the mint's production schedule.
