| Additional information |
Part of Perth Mint's Australian Shark series, this 1/40 oz issue was one of the smaller fractional denominations produced during the early 2010s gold bull market, when investor demand for low-entry-point bullion pieces pushed mints worldwide toward sub-gram fractional formats. The Great White was the first subject in the series, which ran through several apex predator subjects over subsequent years.
