Description:
The first time that the Perth Mint has applied full-colour so extensively to a 1oz coin from the world-renowned Silver Koala Series, this official Australian Show Product was a major hit at the American Numismatic Association Show held in Philadelphia earlier this month.
Struck to Specimen quality from 1oz of .999 fine silver, the crown-sized 40mm flan of this official Australian legal tender release portrays Australia’s cuddliest bush icon in traditional pose – asleep in a eucalyptus tree! Capturing the spirit of the great Aussie Outback, the subtle combination of colours employed by the Perth Mint for this charming koala design makes for a captivating Australian coin. Whilst a must-have for the many who specifically collect official, exclusive Show Product, there is no doubt that the powerfully Australian motif was at the heart of the fervent interest in Philadelphia.
