2022 Australian Koala 15th Anniversary 3oz Silver Proof Gilded Coin
AU$450.00
Stock: Available
Product Code: 22S3461
This extraordinary 3oz silver proof gilded coin showcases one of Australia’s best-known native marsupials- the koala.
Often perceived as a cuddly animal and generally sleepy during the daytime, the koala has an appealing bear-like face and thick grey fur. Spending much of its life in gum trees where it consumes large quantities of leaves, the koala can nevertheless be experienced close-up at sanctuaries and zoos throughout Australia.
Celebrating the Koala’s 15th anniversary in silver, this coin features a 24-carat gilded portrayal of the sleepy creature lying on the bough of a gum tree. As well as the inscription ‘KOALA 15TH ANNIVERSARY’ and The Perth Mint’s ‘P’ mintmark, the design includes the coin’s weight, purity and year-date.
Elements of this design have been gilded in 24-carat gold, superbly combining two celebrated minting techniques.
The coin is housed in a classic display case with a clear lid. Packaged within an illustrated shipper, each coin is accompanied by a numbered Certificate of Authenticity.
