2026 1 oz Australian Silver Koala Liberty Bell Privy - Colored

2026 1 oz Australian Silver Koala Liberty Bell Privy - Colored

The Perth Mint's Australian Koala has long been a favorite among silver buyers, pairing high-purity silver with a new portrayal of Australia's beloved marsupial each year. For 2026, The Perth Mint has created a special version of the design just for American collectors, issued in honor of the American Numismatic Association's World's Fair of Money, held in Pittsburgh from August 25 to 29, 2026.

The 2026 1 oz Australian Silver Koala Liberty Bell Privy - Colored brings together two national icons on one coin. Struck from 1 troy oz of .9999 fine silver, it shows a full-color koala on the reverse along with a privy mark of the Liberty Bell, one of America's most enduring symbols of freedom and independence. It is a fitting tribute for a show that draws collectors from across the country.

With a maximum mintage of only 2,500 coins, this special release is far more limited than the standard Koala, and its colorful design and themed presentation card make it an eye-catching addition to any collection.
