The Australian Perth Mint Silver Koalas are special limited edition coins minted by Perth Mint, the oldest operating mint in Australia. These Australian silver coins are produced to commemorate Australia’s iconic animal, the koala, while it is perched in a eucalyptus tree. Incorporated in the reverse of the coin is the “P” mintmark, the symbol of Perth Mint.
Each Australian Silver bullion coin contains 1 troy ounce (ozt) of .999% pure silver in specimen quality, making it one of the highest demand precious metals products available. Also available are the nearly flawless Australian Silver koalas, designated Mint State 69 by the Numismatic Guaranty Corporation (NGC).
The new 2011 Australian Koala silver coin also features a very delicate frosting, a subtle change that makes its design extremely eye catching. Provident Metals also makes previous years of Silver Koalas available for purchase dating back to the first edition in 2007. Its low mintage and the ever rising price of silver make this collectible coin worth adding to your silver stack. The 1 ounce, 1/10 ounce and kilo varieties help the Australian silver Koala gain a reputation as a versatile tool for precious metals investing.
So, what are you waiting for? Diversify your portfolio with this commemorative Australian 999 pure silver souvenir. With the coin’s symbolic design that portrays a new and fresh artistry each year, this coin could easily climb up to your list of favorite collectible coins.
