History of the Platinum Koala Coins

On June 18, 1987, it marked a significant moment in the history of the Perth Mint, as the Australian government authorized them to produce platinum and silver coins. Subsequently, in September 1988, the Perth Mint introduced the nation's inaugural platinum Koala coin. This special commemorative 2023 Australian Koala 35th Anniversary 1 oz platinum bullion coin pays tribute to that historic inaugural release, faithfully replicating the original 1988 coin's reverse design.

Delving into the design, the Koala, often misidentified as a bear by early European settlers, is a marsupial native to Australia. Its specialized anatomy, ranging from robust skin and adept claws to its distinct rear padding, equips it for an arboreal existence. This coin design captures these nuances, rendering a snapshot of the Koala's natural disposition.

The Perth Mint's longstanding tradition of producing numismatic treasures is evident in this new 2023 platinum 1 oz Australia Koala coin release. Beyond the metallic composition, this Koala coin channels the Australian continent's narratives, traditions, and quintessence.

In possession of the 2023 Platinum 1 oz Australia Koala BU Coin, one doesn't merely own a metal disc. Instead, it is a conduit for tales about the Australian wilderness, famous vistas, and the koala's unique, contemplative personality.
