The design for Perth Mint silver Koalas changes every year, and this 2015 edition shows Australia's native marsupial sitting in a tree in a design by Ing Ing Jong. The inscription reads 'AUSTRALIAN KOALA' and '2015 5oz 999 SILVER'.
The obverse displays the official coinage portrait of Queen Elizabeth II by Ian Rank-Broadley with '8 DOLLARS' below, and 'ELIZABETH II AUSTRALIA' above. Like the reverse, this standard design looks different with the domed finish.
This 2015 Australian coin is struck in 156.673 grams of solid 999 fine silver, equivalent to five troy ounces of pure precious metal. The unique high-relief finish offers a sculptural appearance, distinct from ordinary proof coins.
Just 5,000 of these five-ounce Australian coins were authorised for release in 2015. Koala coins are not common in the UK, and we are pleased to offer these proof pieces for sale to collectors of the series.
This pre-owned five-ounce silver coin is supplied in the original capsule and presentation case from The Perth Mint, complete with an individually numbered certificate of authenticity, as issued.
