2023 Australian Koala 1/10oz .9995 Platinum Bullion Coin

Depicting one of Australia’s most beloved animals, this brand new addition to the Australian koala bullion coin series pays tribute to our rich wildlife. In 2023, the design reaches a new high point with a beguiling portrait of the animal’s family life high in the gum tree canopy.

Struck from 99.95% pure platinum, the coin is issued as legal tender under the Australian Currency Act 1965.

No more than 15,000 Australian Koala 2023 1/10oz Platinum Bullion Coins will be released.

DESIGN

Each coin portrays a koala on a gum tree branch with a joey clinging to its back. Both coin designs incorporate the inscription ‘KOALA’, The Perth Mint’s ‘P’ mintmark, and the coin’s weight, purity and year-date.

The obverse of each coin bears The Queen Elizabeth II Memorial Obverse, featuring the Jody Clark effigy supplemented with the dates of her reign, and the monetary denomination.

PRESENTATION

Each bullion coin is presented in a protective acrylic capsule.
