The 2012 Australian Perth Mint 1 kilo Silver Koala is part of a series of coins specially designed in limited edition and minted by the world renowned Perth Mint, the oldest operating mint in Australia. The 2012 Australian Silver Koala in one Kilo of .999 pure silver commemorates Australia’s most lovable of animals, the koala bear. The fine workmanship of the Perth Mint rivals any in the world, and it has struck each of these coins with no less attention to detail than one would expect. Each 2012 Australian Silver Koala contains 1 kilo of .999% pure silver in specimen quality. This makes the Australian Silver Koala one of the highest demand precious metal products available today. Because the stated face value of these coins is so much less than their actual value in bullion content, they are nearly uncirculated. In addition, its low mintage combined with the increasing price of silver makes this collectible coin an outstanding addition to your bullion portfolio. Finally, the flexible purchasing options in three available denominations of 1 kilo, 1 ounce, and 10 ounce make this a versatile way to invest. Collect all three sizes to finish a complete set!

The new 2012 Australian Silver Koala also features a very delicate frosting, a subtle but effective change that makes its design very pleasing to the eye. Queen Elizabeth graces the obverse, or front of the coin, featured in silhouette per tradition. She serves as the constitutional monarch of Australia and England as well as many other countries and has served in this position for over 60 years. This gives Elizabeth II the distinction of being England’s second longest serving monarch and a historical figure of significance. The obverse of the 2012 Australian Silver Koala is also labeled with its face value, far less than its value in silver bullion. Two koala bears are beautifully displayed on the reverse of the coin, one playfully hugging and the other reclining in their favorite hiding place and home, the eucalyptus tree. The Perth’s mint mark, “P,” is also inscribed on the reverse with the label 2012 1 KILO 999 SILVER. This coin will also arrive to you in its original Perth Mint plastic capsule in mint condition. We know you will enjoy this delightful and collectible coin either for its artistic value or as an outstanding investment in Austrailia’s finest silver.
