Design of the
1/2 oz. Australian Silver Koala
Bullion Coin

Obverse

The effigy of Queen Elizabeth II, by designer Ian Rank-Broadley, is the focal point of the obverse side of the 10 oz. silver bullion coin.

The designers initial's "IRB" are inscribed directly below the Queen's neck.

Her name "ELIZABETH II" and "AUSTRALIA" are inscribed along the upper perimeter of the silver bullion coin.

The 1/2 oz. silver Koala's Face Value of "50 CENTS" is inscribed along the bottom perimeter of the bullion coin.

Reverse

The reverse side of the silver bullion coin receives a new portrait of a Koala in different pose and setting, each year.

Across the top of the silver bullion coin are the words, "AUSTRALIA KOALA."

At the bottom of the half oz. Silver Koala coin is the Year of Issue, Weight of "1/2OZ" and the purity of the silver coin is "999 SILVER."

Located near the bottom of the tree, that the Koala is sitting on, is the Mint Mark of a "P" representing The Perth Mint.

The edge, often considered to be the third side of the coin, is Reeded.

Note: The proof-like finish and limited mintage of the 1/2 oz. Silver Koala bullion coin can give the coin a higher premium in off years. Purchasing the silver koala bullion coin in its current year of production is the best way to purchase the coin closest to its spot price in silver.
