The most popular coin program from the Perth Mint is the Australian Silver Koala. Featuring the continent’s famous, cuddly native species, these coins were first introduced in 2007. With rotating images on the reverse each year and a purity of .999 silver, these coins are a favorite with both investors and collectors. Today, JM Bullion offers the 2016 1 Kilo Australian Silver Koala Coin in BU condition.
Coin Highlights:
Australian Silver Koala coins are similar to many other silver bullion coin programs struck around the globe. In the case of Perth Mint coins, reverse imagery is changed every year to generate greater interest and demand. While the overall motif is always the koala and its natural environment, the specific depictions change each year.
The Perth Mint is altering the Australian Silver Koala coin series this year, focusing on the two sizes that appear to be favored by investors and collectors. To date, the Mint only plans to strike the coins in a 1 oz weight and this 1 Kilo weight. Traditionally, Perth Mint also produced ½ oz and 10 oz coins in this program.
On the reverse of the all-new 2016 1 oz Australian Silver Koala is the latest depiction of the cuddly, yet feisty marsupial. In the 2016 image, a single adult is featured walking along the branch of a tree on all fours. “Australian Koala” is engraved above, with the coin’s year of minting, weight, purity, and metal content below.
The obverse features Queen Elizabeth II’s right-profile portrait as designed by Ian Rank-Broadley in 1998. Her image is surrounded by engravings that include her name, the nation of issue, and the coin’s face value.
Perth Mint was founded by the British Royal Mint in 1898, just four years before Australia’s six states filed formal federation paperwork. The Perth Mint, the last surviving Royal Mint facility in Australia, passed to Australian control in 1970 when the government of Western Australia assumed control.

"I have to say, I was impressed. I thought because I ordered an older coin that there might be some scratches, or nicks on the reed's edge, completely the opposite, it looks brand new. Even the capsule looked incredible. Thanks J.M."
"I received my mega 2016 Koala coin timely in flawless condition (as usual from JM). However, just a heads-up that this coin has a much flatter sheen than the 2016 1 oz Koala coins and even the 2017 1 Kg Kookaburra coin. After receiving the coin I looked at the picture on the JM website and discovered it was accurately depicted with no mirrored finishes to the coin! The coin has great detail and is fine in every other sense, just do not expect any mirrored finish on it."
