| Additional information |
The Perth Mint's 155.533g gold issues in this series represent one of the few bullion-adjacent proof programs where the coin's face value is legally binding under Australian law — $500 AUD — despite the gold content alone vastly exceeding that figure at any realistic spot price. Charles III's appearance on Perth Mint coinage marks the first transition in Australian effigy since Elizabeth II's death in September 2022, with the Jody Clark portrait adopted across Commonwealth mints under the standard approval process coordinated through the Royal Mint in London.
The KM#4773 assignment places this squarely in the transitional documentation period for Australian coinage.
