Platinum Koala - 1 oz (Year Varies)

The 1 oz Platinum Koala is a celebrated issue from Australia's renowned Perth Mint, blending Australia's natural beauty with exceptional craftsmanship. First introduced in 1988, the Platinum Koala series quickly gained traction among collectors and investors worldwide for its annually changing koala designs and high purity. Struck from .9995 fine platinum, each coin features the iconic koala, a marsupial native to Australia, symbolizing the continent's rich biodiversity and global appeal. These coins carry legal tender status under the Australian Currency Act and are backed by the Australian government.

Collector Insight:

The Platinum Koala is prized for its artistic variation and limited mintage, making it more than just a bullion coin-it's a collectible series with global following. Earlier years, especially those with lower production runs, often command strong premiums on the secondary market. For collectors who appreciate evolving wildlife artistry paired with government-backed purity, the Platinum Koala delivers on all fronts.
