When you purchase these 2009 Proof Australian Koala 1 oz Gold Coins online from Provident Metals, you will receive coins that are in Gem Proof condition.

Gem Proof coins tend to have full mint luster with only minor distracting marks or other imperfections. The coins may have some toning, a feature that is acceptable among Gem Proof-graded coins.

Obverse

The obverse of 2009 Proof Australian Koala Gold Coins features a portrait of Queen Elizabeth II. Set in right-profile relief, this bust of the Queen depicts Her Majesty wearing the Girls of Great Britain and Ireland Tiara. The design element includes inscriptions of ELIZABETH II, AUSTRALIA, 2009, and 100 DOLLARS.

Reverse

On the reverse side of the 2009 Proof Australian Koala 1 oz Gold Coin is an image of a koala. This native marsupial is shown happily lounging on the limb of a tree. The inscriptions on this field are plain and consist only of 1 OZ 9999 GOLD.

History

The Australian Koala Series launched in 2007, some 17 years after the Kookaburra Series set the standard for Australian coining with its new annual designs. The coins are regularly issued in silver BU versions, while gold coins in the collection are typically restricted to beautiful high-relief proofs such as these coins.
