The 1 oz Australian Koala Silver Coin is a beautifully crafted bullion coin produced by the Perth Mint and is known for its changing reverse design each year featuring the iconic koala, a cherished symbol of Australia's wildlife. Struck in .999 fine silver from 2007 to 2017 and .9999 fine silver from 2018 onward, each coin is presented in a protective plastic capsule directly from the mint.
Design Insight:
Each year features a new artistic rendering of the koala, often shown climbing eucalyptus trees or resting peacefully, symbolizing tranquility, resilience, and national pride. These artistic updates make the Koala series a standout in modern bullion.
