1-kilo. Australian Koala Silver
Bullion Coin

2008 - Present

The 1-kilo Australian Koala silver bullion coin is a rare and limited-edition coin struck from 99.99% pure silver. Every year, the Perth Mint creates a new endearing design of Australia’s most beloved marsupial for the coin.

The proof-like finish and limited mintage can increase its premium in off-years. Buying the coin in its current year of production is the best way to get the 1-kilo Australian Koala silver bullion coin closest to its spot silver price.

Australian Koala
obverse side
2008-2010

From 2008 to 2010, the obverse side of the Australian Koala silver bullion coin included the "Year of Issue."

Then, in 2011, the Perth Mint removed the date from the obverse side and began to inscribe the coins' "Year of Issue" on the reverse side of the silver bullion coin.

The 2023 Australian Koala Silver bullion coin portrays the profile of Her Majesty, Queen Elizabeth II, designed by Jody Clark.

Inscriptions:

• ELIZABETH II
• AUSTRALIA
• •  30 DOLLARS  •
  
• JC - designer's initials on the Queen's shoulder.

Micro-Laser Engraved Letter
2023 Silver Koala

Inscriptions:

• KOALA
• 2023 (Year of Issue)
• 1 KILO
• 9999 SILVER
• P - mint mark of the Perth Mint
• IJ - initials for the designer of the reverse side
  
• P - micro-laser-engraved security feature - found near the end of the top leaf 
  

The Edge on the 1 kilo. silver investment coin is Reeded.

Note:  The Micro-Laser-Engraved security "letter" is an authentication feature that is hard to see with the naked eye but easier to detect under a magnifying glass. The micro-engraved "letter" is designed to make the bullion coin more difficult to counterfeit.
