Sold out at the mint! The koala is one of Australia's most popular animals, accounting for the exceptional success of the Australian Koala series that began in 2007. Each year features a new design, adding collectibility to the .999 fine Silver content.

This year's issue has a limited mintage of only 300,000 coins, making them much more collectible as a bullion coin!

Coin Highlights:
  • Contains 1 oz of .999 fine Silver.
  • Each coin comes in a protective plastic capsule.
  • Eligible for Precious Metals IRAs.
  • Reverse: Features a koala walking along a branch of a eucalyptus tree. The reverse design on each issue also includes The Perth Mint’s ‘P’ mint mark, year-date and fineness.
  • Obverse: Ian Rank-Broadley likeness of Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II and the monetary denomination.
  • Sovereign coin backed by the Australian government.
  • Limited mintage of 300,000 coins for the first time ever.

Koalas are loved around the world, and now you can bring home your very own Silver Koala. Add this 2016 1 oz Silver Koala to your cart today!

Beginning in 2007, the Perth Mint introduced the Silver Koala series in both Gold and silver. Each year features a different design of this animal that is so strongly associated with Australia. This year's design shows a full Koala in stride, making its way across a branch!

Australian Silver Koala coins are produced in both 1 oz and 1 kilogram size, with the mintage of the 1 oz size capped at just 300,000 coins. This makes the Australian Silver Koala one of the most collectible bullion series. The Koala, along with the Kookaburra, Lunar Series, and Kangaroo form what has continued to be a robust line of high quality bullion products from the Perth Mint of Australia.

A classic--for a good reason

Was this review helpful? Yes/ No

This is one of the big three "K" 's in Australian silver coins. The Koalas are famous for their iconic design, along with the other Australian coins the Kookaburra and Kangaroo. I recommend anyone that is serious about collecting silver coins to have at least a few of each of these. They will cost a bit more in premium than the Eagles or Maple Leafs, let alone generic rounds. But, they are well worth it. For certain, if you are even thinking of buying paper based product, get these instead. Those MyRA accounts are not going to be worth the paper they are printed on, and neither will stocks, when the dollar becomes toilet paper or the banks start paying negative interest on these securities. You spend the money on Koalas, Kookaburras, and/or Kangaroos, you are safe. You get no negative interest, no bail ins, no worry about someone not coming through with payment (or being paid in toilet papers that are worthless), and no way of getting them confiscated with a click of a mouse. And you will simply laugh at the stock market when it crashes--your wealth is safe with these fine silver products.

Like the lower premium and changing designs

Was this review helpful? Yes/ No

The argument with bullion with some is that the premiums are too high for something that never changes and is only guaranteed to bring back spot. These seem to be more attractive and a somewhat limited mintage so a better prospect than Eagles or past coin replicas.

Great buy! 1st year with limited mintage...

Was this review helpful? Yes/ No

First year the koalas have a limited mintage and the mint announced last month they sold out of the 300,000 koalas and 500,000 kookaburras. I think these will go up in value and are worth the premium compared to eagles and maples that have mintages in the tens of millions each year. These are one of my favorites to collect each year.

Awesome but wish it came in a mint tube

Was this review helpful? Yes/ No

The coin is beautiful, collectible, and all that good stuff. I do wish that it came in mint tubes, the individual cases are great if you are buying a few but take up too much space if you are buying in bulk. Hey, I guess that's why Apmex sells the empty coin tubes! Just thought of that!
