Reverse

Every year, the reverse side of the Silver Koala bullion coin receives a new portrait of a Koala Bear.

The 2019's reverse portrays a koala sitting in a eucalyptus tree  surrounded by leaves.

Inscribed along the top of the silver bullion coin is "AUSTRALIA KOALA."

Along the bottom of the Silver Koala is the Year of Issue, Weight of "1OZ" and the Purity of the silver coin "9999 SILVER."

Every year, the Mint Mark of "P" representing The Perth Mint, can be found somewhere inside the 'field' on the reverse side of the bullion coin.

The Edge on the 1 oz. Silver Koala bullion coin is Reeded.

Lastly, located in one of the eucalyptus leaves below the word 'AUSTRALIAN' are the initials for Ing Ing Jong 'IJ' the designer the 2019 Silver Koala's reverse side.

Note: The proof-like finish and limited mintage of the 1 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 often the best way to purchase the coin closest to its spot price, in silver.
