| Additional information |
The Perth Mint began issuing these small-denomination gold bullion pieces in the 1990s as part of a broader push to attract retail investors priced out of the one-ounce market. The four-nines fineness — .9999 — was a deliberate point of competitive differentiation from the South African Krugerrand's .9167, appealing particularly to Asian markets where purity carries premium commercial significance.
