The koala is one of Australia’s favorite marsupials and is a quintessential icon of the land down under. The Perth Mint introduced the Koala series in 2007, and it has been a perennial hit with collectors and investors ever since. Now, the Mint is introducing its first ever 10 oz silver bullion piedfort coin featuring a mother and baby koala.
This .9999 fine silver coin, while only 65 mm in diameter, is crafted with an extra thick planchet in the style of traditional ‘piedforts’ (pronounced pee-ay-fore). Piedfort coins can be traced back to twelfth-century France, where their name was derived from the french words for “heavy weight”. The 10 oz Silver Piedfort Koala is the perfect way to accumulate a larger amount of silver in one purchase with a distinctive and collectible design. Add this coin to your collection today!
The obverse depicts the new Ian Rank-Broadley portrait of Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II. Engravings include ELIZABETH II, 2018, AUSTRALIA, 10 OZ 9999 AG, and 10 DOLLARS.
The reverse features a mother koala perched on a eucalyptus branch carrying her joey on her back. Radial lines and The Perth Mint’s ‘P’ mintmark are also included in the design as added security features.
The Perth Mint is Australia’s oldest mint, as well as the largest exporter and second-largest producer of gold bars in the world.

This is a beautiful 10 oz. hunk of silver with the momma Koala and baby. It is reasonably priced and has a great compact feel. The artistic nature of the piece is appealing too. One of my favorite pieces! I hope they become available again soon!"
