They feature the regal and unique Koala bear, a marsupial that captures the essence of Australia’s inimitable wildlife.

The Perth Mint History

Originally part of the Royal Mint in London, the Perth Mint was established as a supplement to the minting needs of the commonwealth countries. It was initially set up to refine gold and mint gold sovereigns and half-sovereigns for the British Empire in 1899. One of the oldest functioning minting facilities in Australia, the Perth Mint is known for the quality and purity of its products. Producing several collectible bullion coins, the Perth Mint is a highly regarded name within the numismatic community who place great value on its products.

Consequently, the Australian Koala bear is featured proudly on the reverse of each of these coins, albeit with different images of Koalas each year.

This majestic portrait of the Queen is surrounded by the words ‘Elizabeth II’ and ‘Australia’, followed by the face value (monetary value) of the coin – depending on the weight of the coin.
