Coin Highlights:
Koalas are loved around the world, and now you can bring home your very own Silver Koala. Add this 2018 2 oz Silver Koala to your cart today!
Each release of the Next Generation coins will display a mother & baby from an Australian Outback species. In addition, each coin includes the enhanced security feature of micro-engraved radial lines. All coins in the series are struck as Piedfort coins, meaning they are the same diameter as Perth's standard round Silver coins of the same weight but are double the thickness.
When early European settlers first encountered koalas in Australia, they thought the tree-climbing animals were monkeys or bears. Even though they're still referred to by some as "koala bears", they're actually marsupials like kangaroos and wombats.
Koalas have special physical characteristics that complement their tree-dwelling lifestyle. They're able to grip branches and pick eucalyptus leaves with their two opposable digits, and their tough skin and sharp claws provide traction in climbing. They even have extra thick fur on their seat so they can sit comfortably on branches for hours. Unique to Australia, these animals are a perfect theme for an iconic coin series.
The first release in Perth's Mother & Baby Series features one of Australia's most popular animals, the Koala. This Piedfort coin is double the thickness of Perth's standard Silver coins.
Coin Highlights:
- Limited mintage of 75,000 coins.
- Contains 2 oz of .9999 fine Silver.
- Each coin comes in a protective plastic. Multiples of 10 come in a tube.
- Eligible for Precious Metals IRAs.
- Obverse: Displays the famous likeness of Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II and the monetary denomination. The 2018 year-date, and the .9999 purity are also featured in the design.
- Reverse: Portrays a koala sitting on the branch of a tree while carrying her offspring. The Perth Mint's "P" mint mark.
- Sovereign coin backed by the Australian government.
