25 Dollars - Elizabeth II 6th Portrait; In the name of - Barn Owl; Gold Bullion

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.
