Koala - Perth Mint 1 Oz Silver (2023)

Buy The Beautiful Silver Koala - From Australia's Perth Mint 

The Koala is one of Australia's most iconic creatures, but it is widely misunderstood. The adorable Koala is not a bear. It is a marsupial, like the kangaroo. Infant koala's are not born ready to start navigating on their own. Rather, they are placed in the mother's pouch where they can safely develop for a period outside the mother's womb.

***NOTE: The design of the actual coin shipped will vary depending upon inventory availability.  

The Perth Mint, Australia's national mint, first issued a 1 oz silver coin featuring the beloved Koala in 2007. Mintages have been smaller than for the more widely distributed silver Kangaroo. In recent years, the total production cap was set at 300,000 coins though even fewer coins were actually produced in 2017 and 2018.

The coin's reverse side is redesigned each year as artists create a new depiction of one or more Koalas in their natural habitat. 

The Koala Features:

• 1 troy oz with a minimum purity of .999 fine Silver
• Coins individually sealed in air tite capsules
• Multiples of 20 come in sealed rolls, and multiples of 100 come in cardboard boxes with sealed rolls inside
• Sovereign coin backed by the Australian government

The silver Koala is affordably priced considering it is a coin with smaller mintages and lots of appeal. Everyone loves the cuddly Koala, and the striking coins which depict it sell quickly.

Australia's Perth Mint produces official legal tender coins ideally suited for investors. The finely crafted Australian Silver Koala coin features low premiums when compared to other sovereign bullion coins such as the American Eagle.
