The Silver Koala displays the profile of her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II, by designer Jody Clark, his initials "JC" can be found on the Queen's shoulder.

Encircled along the upper portion of the Queen's profile are the words "ELIZABETH II" and "AUSTRALIA."

Reverse

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

Inscribed along the top of the silver bullion coin is "AUSTRALIAN 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

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 current price.
