| Additional information |
Issued ahead of the London 2012 Summer Olympics, this coin belongs to a Perth Mint series that incorporated pad-printing technology — a process borrowed from industrial ceramics and watch-dial manufacturing — to apply multicolor design elements directly onto the gold field. At the time, the technique was still novel enough in numismatic production that early strikes attracted considerable collector interest purely on technical grounds.
