The 2007 Silver Koala is the first coin in a new series of iconic Perth Mint releases
depicting Australia’s most endearing marsupial. Scheduled for release each year with a new
design featuring a cuddly koala, this stunning series is designed to appeal to collectors and
gift buyers.
99.9% Pure Silver
This new Silver Koala coin is struck from 1oz of 99.9% pure silver in specimen quality.
Cuddly Koala Design
The coin’s reverse design depicts a cuddly koala clinging tenaciously to the branch of
a gum tree.
Remarkable ‘Shimmer’ Background
The image appears on a ‘shimmer’ background, a remarkable new effect developed
exclusively by The Perth Mint.
Australian Legal Tender
Issued as legal tender under the Australian Currency Act 1965, the 2007-dated
coin bears the Ian Rank-Broadley effigy of Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II on its obverse.
Mint To Order
The 2007 Silver Koala is struck on a ‘Mint to Order’ basis only. Production will close
on announcement of the 2008-dated coin, enabling The Perth Mint to declare its official
mintage.
The mintage for the 2007 Australian Koala 1oz Silver Specimen Coin has been closed
and striking has ceased. You can now purchase the 2008 Australian Koala 1oz Silver Coin
