Australian Koala 2024 5oz Silver Proof High Relief Gilded Coin

This extraordinary 5oz silver proof high relief gilded coin features one of Australia’s most loved marsupials, the koala.

The koala is a very special Australian animal. That the koala “holds the affection of Australians more than any other of their wild animals” was suggested in The Wild Animals of Australasia, a 1926 tome that attributed their unrivalled charm to an “innocent, babyish expression and quiet and inoffensive ways”. Clinging to the trunk of a gum tree, the beloved marsupial in the design features a cherubic face of a forever charming koala.

Each coin is struck by The Perth Mint from 5oz of 99.99% pure silver in proof quality and is issued as legal tender under the Australian Currency Act 1965.

The Perth Mint will release no more than 750 of the Australian Koala 2024 5oz Silver Proof High Relief Gilded Coin.
