Provident Metals is proud to announce 2012 Australian Perth Mint 1/2 oz Silver Koala is now available! This superb silver coin from our friends “down under” is minted in beautiful detail by Australia’s longest operating mint, the world-renowned Perth Mint. The 2012 half ounce Australian Silver Koala honors one of Australia’s most recognizable and unique animals, the koala. These lovable creatures have served as inspiration for the design of many teddy bears around the world, so it’s not surprising that the fine artisans of the Perth Mint selected them to be featured on a series of Australian coinage. They have designed the 2012 half ounce Koalas with as much attention to detail as their distinguished predecessors. Each 2012 Australian Silver Koala contains 1/2 Troy ounce of .999% pure silver bullion in specimen quality. Therefore, the purity of its silver content and the artistry of its design combine to make the Australian Silver Koala one of the highest-demand coins in circulation today. In addition to its legal-tender status and its fine bullion content, its low mintage limits makes this coin a wise addition to your precious metals portfolio. Finally, the flexible purchasing options with four denominations in 1/10 ounce, 1/2 ounce, 1 ounce, and 1 kilo should please investors of all levels. Why not collect all four to create a complete set!

The striking of the 2012 Australian Silver Koala has resulted in a very delicate, frosted finish that is aesthetically pleasing. We believe this subtle design change will make the 2012 Koala especially likely to please collectors around the world. Per Australian law, Queen Elizabeth II is featured on the front of the coin. Her profile is both regal and iconic, and the 2012 Koala features the more mature Elizabeth sculpted by Ian Rank-Broadly. She has served as the constitutional monarch for over 60 years, making her England’s second longest-serving in history. It is the coin’s reverse design, however, that makes these coins so anticipated each year. The 2012 Koala features two koala bears, the first reclining in the forefront and the second hugging a eucalyptus tree where it can usually be found in the wild. The reverse is also inscribed with the Perth’s mint mark “P,” and labeled “2012 1/2 OZ 999 SILVER” We know you’ll enjoy the newest Silver Koala and take satisfaction in your collectible investment because the 2012 Australian Silver Koala represents the finest of silver bullion from our friends down under!
