This design continues the tradition of the Perth Mint Koala silver coin. This perennial favourite is one of the most popular designs by the Perth Mint and features one of Australia's most lovable creatures in various poses and aspects of its habitat.
The obverse of the 2016 Australian Koala Silver Coins contain the Ian Rank-Broadley effigy of Queen Elizabeth II of England, along with a face value inscription of AU $10.00.
The reverse of this issue is an image of an adult koala walking on a branch of a eucalyptus tree. It's stance tells us that it is in no hurry to get where it is going. The details of both the tree limb and the Koala's fur, along with the attention to detail of this design make it the perfect addition to any collection. The words "Australian Koala 2016 10 oz 999 Silver" and the Perth Mint mark "P" complete the design.
ABOUT THE PERTH MINT
The Perth Mint opened in 1899 as the British Royal Mint's 3rd branch in Australia. The historical Hay Street location handled gold refining until moving to a modern facility in April 1990. Ownership of the mint was transferred to the Government of Western Australia in July of 1970. Under an agreement with the Commonwealth Treasury, they were empowered to mint and market gold, silver, and platinum as Australian legal tender to investors and collectors worldwide. Today, they are amongst the elite world mints whose pure gold, silver, and platinum items are trusted without question. Items such as the Australian Nugget, Silver Coin Series (Kangaroo, Kookaburra, Koala, and Platypus to name a few), as well as the Australian Lunar Gold and Silver Coin Series are extensively sought after by bullion investors worldwide.
Individually this coin comes with a coin capsule.
