Story

Charming koala

As well as their trusted weight and purity, Australian Koala Silver Bullion Coins boast superb annual artistry capturing the essence of these gentle creatures. In 2026, the design depicts a day in the life of the koala, high up in the tranquil sanctuary of the eucalyptus tree canopy.

2026 koala design

The coin’s reverse portrays a koala perched in a eucalyptus tree, holding a leafy branch in its mouth surrounded by native foliage. Included on the reverse are the inscriptions ‘KOALA’ and The Perth Mint’s ‘P’ mintmark, as well as the coin’s weight, purity and 2026 year-date.

Authentication feature

For additional peace of mind, the coin incorporates an authentication feature in the form of a micro-laser engraved letter. Detectable under a magnifying glass, it’s designed to make it significantly more difficult for the coin to be counterfeited.

Presentation packaging 

The coin is presented in a protective acrylic capsule.
