Obverse

The obverse side of these magnificent coins showcases the exquisite effigy of Queen Elizabeth II, created by Ian Rank-Broadley in 1998. This right-profile portrait, featured in the fourth-generation design, adds a touch of regality to each coin. Inscriptions include ELIZABETH II, AUSTRALIA, and 10 DOLLARS.

Reverse

On the reverse, you’ll find a delightful image of a koala resting on a tree branch. The unique design changes annually, making each edition a treasure. With koalas known for their leisurely sleep habits, spending up to 18-20 hours a day dozing, this coin design perfectly captures the essence of these adorable Australian creatures. Inscriptions include 2012, 10 OZ, 999 SILVER, and AUSTRALIAN KOALA.

History

Since 1899, the Perth Mint has held a special place in Australia’s numismatic history. As the last remaining colonial branch of the UK’s Royal Mint in the country, it continues to operate under the ownership and control of the state government of Western Australia. While the Sydney Mint and Melbourne Mint ceased operations, the Perth Mint remains a symbol of heritage and craftsmanship.
