Homepage / Bullion Coins: Australian Coins / 1 oz. Silver Australian Koala
Updated on 04/12/2024
2007 - Present
The renowned Perth Mint in Australia produces the Australian Koala silver bullion coins, which were introduced in 2007.
The Australian Koala silver bullion coin is 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-oz Australian Koala silver bullion coin closest to its spot silver price.
Further down this page, you'll find a list of reputable bullion dealers who sell the silver koala bullion coin.
From 2007 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.
In the design, the Queen is wearing the Royal Diadem crown, earrings, and the Victorian coronation necklace.

The reverse side of the 2023 Australian Koala Silver bullion coin shows a koala climbing a tree with a dependent young ‘joey’ clinging to its back, designed by Ing Ing Jong.
Inscriptions:
The edge on the silver bullion 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.
