3 Dollars - Queen Elizabeth II Cupid

Perth Mint's one-tenth ounce gold series has long served as an entry point for bullion collectors, and this issue falls squarely in that commercial tradition. The cupid motif pulls from a design lineage the Mint has revisited across multiple precious metal formats over the years, though the Queen Elizabeth II obverse here is anachronistic by design — struck two years after her death, it uses the Jody Clark effigy that remained the standard for Australian coinage through the transition period before Charles III portraits were phased in domestically.
