The Australian five ounces silver piece (abbreviated as 5 oz and designated with Ag for "silver") is a bullion and commemorative coin format. Uniquely, in Australia there are two mints authorised to strike legal tender: the Royal Australian Mint (which also makes the country's circulating coinage) and the Perth Mint which only makes collector and bullion coins, as well as other bullion products. Both mints endeavour to create coins with attractive designs, and to introduce new designs and themes often, in order to raise the numismatic value of the coins over the value of previous metal used. This coin is part of the long-running Australian Koala series by the Perth Mint, which has a new reverse design every year, and is one of the "numismatic" issues. The Mint says about it: A collector favourite, the Australian Koala program depicts annual interpretations of the cuddly native marsupial. Struck from 5oz of 99.99% pure silver, the latest release portrays the animal in outstanding detail. | ||||||
