Australia 1 oz Platinum Koala BU (Random Year)

Should I buy Platinum Koala coins or Gold coins?

Many find adding Platinum Koala coins to investment portfolios just as advantageous as adding Gold coins, and sometimes the benefits of Platinum outweigh the benefits of Gold. The Platinum price per ounce is historically higher than the Gold price per ounce, and that is mainly because of supply and demand. Platinum, as found in Australian Platinum coins, is used extensively in industrial products for everyday use, and when there is high industrial demand, the Platinum price rises. When industrial demand weakens, Gold tends to garner a higher price per troy ounce because Platinum is used more in industry than Gold, and Gold is typically perceived as more valuable purely for its thousands of years of use as currency.

Create Platinum Koala coins from every year the Platinum bullion coins were minted.

Though many view Platinum Koala coins as investment bullion, the Australian coins also have numismatic or collector value due to their limited mintage and design. The reverse of the Australian Platinum coins featured a koala bear, and the design was changed annually. Since the Australian coins have not been minted regularly since 2010, finding specific years of the Platinum coin presents the kind of challenge that many collectors enjoy. Buy these random year Platinum coins, and you just may get the year you are looking for.

Platinum Koala coins were first struck in 1988, one year after the Australian government approved the minting of Platinum and Silver coins.
