Australian icon stuns collectors

The iconic koala is loved by Australians and overseas visitors alike for its endearing appearance and soft grey fur. Our 2018 design celebrates one of Australia’s most iconic animals with a depiction of a koala in its favourite place to rest and eat, a flowering eucalyptus tree.

As part of The Perth Mint's annual ode to the adorable marsupial, this coin is struck from 5oz of 99.99% pure silver in proof quality.

High relief finish

The Perth Mint’s proof quality high relief strike is renowned throughout the world for its magnificent clarity and the additional detail it portrays.
