The Australian Koala Coin program is well-known today as a silver bullion program, but it was first available for 12 years as a platinum coin program. In fact, the series helped establish the system of Perth Mint coinage featuring native flora and fauna with ever-changing reverse designs. Provident Metals now has 1991 Australian Koala 1 oz Platinum Coins available to you for purchase online.
Highlights:
When you purchase one of these 1991 Australian Koala 1 oz Platinum Coins online from Provident Metals, you will receive each coin in an individual capsule. The Koala Platinum Coin featured a mintage of more than 52,000 coins in 1991, setting the fifth-highest mintage in the series history.
Obverse
The obverse side of the 1991 Australian Koala Platinum Coin comes with a portrait of Queen Elizabeth II. Her Majesty is shown here in right-profile relief in the 1985 design from Raphael Maklouf. This timeless effigy of the Queen includes the George IV State Diadem with inscriptions on the coin of ELIZABETH II, AUSTRALIA, and 100 DOLLARS.
Reverse
On the reverse field of 1991 Koala 1 oz Platinum Coins, you will find the image of a koala in a tree. The koala is shown clinging to the trunk of the tree as it climbs. The inscriptions on this side include THE AUSTRALIAN KOALA, 1 OZ 9995 PLATINUM, and 1991.
History
Australian Koala Platinum Coins were introduced in 1988 with 1 oz, 1/2 oz, 1/4 oz, and 1/10 oz options. Later, 1 Kilo, 10 oz, and 2 oz coins were also introduced. In 2000, the program was canceled due to sinking demand for platinum.
