2023 Koala One Ounce Silver Bullion Coin

The Australian Silver Koala series is a collection of silver bullion coins that have been minted by the Perth Mint since 2007. These coins have become increasingly popular with collectors due to their beautiful designs that showcase the wildlife of Australia.

Each year, the Perth Mint releases a new design featuring a depiction of a koala, the 2023 release of the Silver Koala marks the 17th in the series and is the last coin to feature Queen Elizabeth II’s effigy.

The reverse of the 2023 1oz silver Koala coin features a design of a mother koala and its young joey perched on the trunk of a gum tree. The intricate details in the design capture the essence of these adorable creatures, from the fur on their ears to the texture of the tree bark. The design is the work of artist Ing Ing Jong, who has created several of the previous designs in the series.

On the obverse side of the coin, you will find the new Queen Elizabeth II Memorial effigy, created by Jody Clark, depicting the Queen wearing the George IV State Diadem and the years of her reign.
