The Year of the Ox issue marks the second year of the Perth Mint's 1-kilogram lunar series using Elizabeth II's sixth and final effigy — the Jody Clark portrait introduced across Commonwealth coinage in 2015. The 2021 date carries a quiet historical irony: the Queen died in September 2022, meaning coins bearing this portrait were still in active production when her reign ended, making the sixth portrait series one of the shortest-lived in modern Australian coinage.
Perth's 1-kilogram silver lunars carry strictly controlled mintage limits, typically capped at 500 pieces globally for this format.
