Description
The Australian Silver Koala is one of three major silver bullion issues from the Perth Mint each year. The Silver Kookaburra was alone for nearly 20 years as the only annual silver coin issued, but in 2007 that changed with the introduction of the 1 oz Australian Silver Koala Coin. The 2019 1 oz Australian Silver Koala Coin is currently available to you for purchase online from Wallace Precious Metals.

Australian Silver Koala coins issued in 2019 mark the second year of availability for the coins with .9999 pure silver content. From 2007 to 2017, the Silver Koala had .999 silver purity. Following the introduction of Australias first-ever .9999 pure Australian Silver Kangaroo, the other major bullion coins experienced a boost to .9999 content in 2018.
The Silver Koala represents the tree-dwelling marsupial that is among the most recognized symbols of Australia. The coins have a new design on the reverse each year of the koala and feature a set cap of 300,000 coins for the 1 oz silver option. The 1 kilo version is offered with an unlimited mintage.
On the obverse of the 2019 1 oz Australian Silver Koala Coin is the sixth effigy of Queen Elizabeth II to grace Australian coins. The Queen is the Queen of England, but unlike many other commonwealths, she is formally the Queen of Australia as well. Her Majesty features in this design from Jody Clark of the Royal Mint of England wearing the Royal Diadem crown on her head and the Victorian coronation necklace around her neck.
The reverse of 2019 Australian Silver Koala Coins includes the newest image of a koala. The tree-dwelling marsupial is depicted wide awake as it sits on the branch of a eucalyptus tree. The creature clutches the branch with its sharp claws and watches out for any potential predators.
These 2019 1 oz Australian Silver Koala Coins ship to you in Brilliant Uncirculated condition. The coins are available individually inside of protective plastic capsules. Multiples ship inside of sealed rolls of 20 coins or boxes of 100 coins that contain five individual rolls.
