One of Australia’s favourite collectable issues, the Australian Koala 1oz silver coin portrays delightful new artistry each year.
Specimen Quality 99.9% Pure Silver
The coin is struck by The Perth Mint from 99.9% pure silver in specimen quality.
Iconic Koala Design
In 2010, the coin depicts an iconic image of a young koala eating gum leaves. The reverse also incorporates The Perth Mint’s ‘P’ mintmark.
Delicately Frosted Table
Delicate frosting has been introduced on the table of this year's coin, a subtle change that enhances the shiny koala design.
Australian Legal Tender
Issued as legal tender under the Australian Currency Act 1965, the coin bears the Ian Rank-Broadley effigy of Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II on its obverse.
Illustrated Presentation Card
The coin is housed on a beautifully illustrated display card, which includes a Certificate of Authenticity on the back.
Mint-To-Order
Like its predecessors, the 2010 Silver Koala is struck on a ‘Mint-to-Order’ basis only. Production will close on announcement of the 2011-dated coin, enabling The Perth Mint to declare its official mintage.
