Gold Koala 2008

FIRST AUSTRALIAN KOALA GOLD PROOF COIN SERIES

The Perth Mint is proud to announce an iconic new series of proof quality 99.99% pure gold coins.

Introduced in response to collector desire for an Australian gold coin series depicting the Mint’s popular koala design theme, these stunning numismatic releases are meticulously struck in proof quality.

Available in three denominations, the Australian Gold Proof Koala is the first Perth Mint series to include a 1oz ‘high relief’ coin. The spectacular release is struck on a significantly thicker blank to accommodate the greater design depth on its specially prepared die.

A mother and baby koala sitting on a tree branch are depicted on the reverse of each coin. The design, which also incorporates The Perth Mint’s ‘P’ mintmark, is struck in ‘high relief’ on the 1oz coin.

Die Münze kommt in den Stückelungen 1 oz, 1/10 oz und 1/25 oz in den Handel.

Traditionell ist auf der Wertseite die engl. Königin Elizabeth II. Die Auflagen sind limitiert und die Motive des Koala Bären wechseln jährlich.
