| Additional information |
Part of Perth Mint's long-running bullion and proof fauna series, this issue appeared during a period when the mint was aggressively expanding its 1/25 oz fractional gold program to attract collectors priced out of heavier pieces. The .9999 fineness was a deliberate point of differentiation from the Royal Canadian Mint's .9999 gold Maple Leaf, with Perth positioning purity as a marketing edge in the early-to-mid 2000s collector market.
KM#974 is one of several shark-themed issues the Perth Mint produced across different formats and weights in this period — cross-referencing against the broader Australian fauna gold proof series is advisable before attributing any single piece.
