| Additional information |
Fremantle Prison operated as a working convict and then civilian gaol from 1855 until its closure in 1991, making it one of the last colonial-era convict establishments still in active use anywhere in the former British Empire. The Perth Mint issued this piece under Australia's long-running $5 gold program, which produces fractional gold coins at legally defined face value — a denomination bearing no relationship to bullion value, largely a legislative formality enabling legal tender status.
