The ‘P’ mint mark from the Perth Mint also features on the reverse of this coin, along with the aforementioned Koala portrayal. On the edge of the coin, encircling the Koala, the phrase ‘Australian Koala,’ is followed by the year of issue ‘2016’ and the purity and weight of silver in the coin.

Each of these coins is struck using 0.999 pure silver, weighing 1 kilogram. Additionally, it carries a face value of 30 Dollars (AUD).

On the obverses of these coins, the Ian Rank-Broadley rendition of Queen Elizabeth II is imprinted. Her image, featuring her right-profile, is encircled by the face value of the coin, name of the issuing nation, and Her Majesty’s name.
Containing a hefty amount of pure silver, these silver coins will make valuable additions to both silver coin collections as well as precious metals investments.
