Returning with one of the most popular wildlife-themed series of Australian silver coins, the Perth Mint has released the 2016 1 Kilo Australian Silver Koala coin. The cuddly Koala is native to the Australian continent and the Perth Mint released this series of coins to honor the marsupial in 2007.

2016’s Silver Koala Coin displays the cuddly marsupial, balancing itself and walking across a thin branch. 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.
