| Additional information |
The 1-kilogram gold proof Eagle has been issued annually by Perth since 2012, each year carrying a new design in the series. The 2018 edition was produced in a mintage of just 30 pieces — a figure that reflects not collector indifference but the basic economics of committing a kilogram of four-nines gold to a single coin at spot prices that made each blank worth well over $40,000 AUD before striking costs.
Ian Rank-Broadley's fourth portrait of Elizabeth II, used here, was adopted by Australia in 1999 and would be replaced on Perth issues by Jody Clark's effigy beginning in 2019 — making this among the last kilogram gold proofs to carry it.
