In practice the scope moved from the original 2001 schedule to an amended schedule (2002 instruments) that adds or revises item specifications, dates and design descriptions, so the set of covered coins and their technical details changed from the original instrument."},"complexity_factors":["Technical, numerical specifications for weight, tolerance, dimensions and metal fineness across multiple coin types","Cross-referencing between Part 1 (specifications) and Part 2 (symbol explanations) requiring interpretation of coded symbols (eg S1, E1, O27, R267)","Multiple material and design permutations (bi‑metallic centre/surround combinations) increasing manufacturing constraints","Amendment history and commencement notes that require tracking which versions and dates apply","Application clause preserving interaction with other determinations (potential overlap or coexistence with earlier coin specifications)"],"plain_english_summary":"This Determination sets the precise, legally binding specifications for particular Perth Mint coins: denomination, metal composition, standard weight and allowable variation, diameter and thickness, edge/shape and detailed obverse/reverse designs.
