Each 2018 1 Kilo Australian Silver Koala Coin listed here in this offering is in BU condition. Coins in this condition exhibit no signs of wear and tear, though you may notice minor flaws from the coining process. These flaws range from breaks in the luster and spotted surfaces to contact marks.
The 1 Kilo Australian Silver Koala coin is different than its 1 oz counterpart in more ways than one. First and foremost, the Perth Mint sets an unlimited mintage for the coins. This means the 1 Kilo Koala will be struck to meet demand through the month of December in 2018, and then removed from production.
Additionally, the 1 Kilo Silver Koala coin has a fully frosted finish according to the Perth Mint. This gives the design elements added beauty in their visual appeal to investors. Individual coins in this collection ship inside protective capsules for display and easy storage.
The obverse of all Australian Silver Koala coins includes the right-profile portrait of Queen Elizabeth II. Her Majesty always features on the obverse of Australian coinage, and has since her ascension to the throne in 1952. This is the fourth-generation depiction of the Queen created in 1998 by Ian Rank-Broadley.
On the reverse of the 2018 1 Kilo Australian Silver Koala coin you’ll find the latest design of this beloved marsupial. The koala is often viewed as a lovable, cuddly animal due to its sloth-like nature and the fact that it sleeps for more than 18 hours a day. In reality, the koala has a sour temperament and will use the claws on its hands and feet to defend itself when threatened.
The Perth Mint is located in the state of Western Australia, and exists as a state-government entity. The mint was originally part of the Royal Mint and opened in 1899. It is the oldest operating facility in the country today.
