CHERISHED KOALA

The koala is renowned for its love of eucalyptus trees. This charming marsupial relies on these trees for both food and shelter, spending most of its life among the comforting eucalyptus foliage. The distinctive aroma of the eucalyptus also helps to create a tranquil environment for this adorable creature, making it an iconic symbol of Australia's remarkable biodiversity.

STUNNING PINK GOLD GILDING

The coin portrays a koala embracing a tree trunk surrounded by eucalyptus foliage. The koala and the coin’s rim are meticulously gilded in stunning 22-carat pink gold. Included in the design is the inscription ‘KOALA’, and a ‘P125’ mintmark signifying The Perth Mint’s 125th anniversary, as well as the coin’s weight, purity and 2024 year-date.

ABOUT THE PERTH MINT

The Perth Mint opened in 1899 as the British Royal Mint's 3rd branch in Australia. The historical Hay Street location handled gold refining until moving to a modern facility in April 1990. Ownership of the mint was transferred to the Government of Western Australia in July of 1970. Under an agreement with the Commonwealth Treasury, they were empowered to mint and market gold, silver, and platinum as Australian legal tender to investors and collectors worldwide. Today, they are amongst the elite world mints whose pure gold, silver, and platinum items are trusted without question. Items such as the Australian Nugget, Silver Coin Series (Kangaroo, Kookaburra, Koala, and Platypus to name a few), as well as the Australian Lunar Gold and Silver Coin Series are extensively sought after by bullion investors worldwide.
