2012 10 oz Australian Silver Koala Coin l JM Bullion™
The mint says about this coin:
Launched in 2007, the Australian Silver Koala Series is one of the most popular coin programs from the Perth Mint. Starting with just a 1 oz silver option, the mint quickly expanded to include a 1/2 oz, 10 oz, and 1-kilo weight starting the very next year. In 2016, the Perth Mint suspended the 1/2 oz and 10 oz silver coins. This annual release features a unique image of a koala on every edition. The 2012 version shows a koala lying on a tree branch. 2012 10 oz Australian Silver Koala Coins are available for purchase now, at JM Bullion. Coin Highlights:
Arrives inside protective capsules! 6th release of the Silver Koala Coin! Contains 10 Troy oz of .999 pure silver. Issued a face value of $10 (AUD) backed by the federal government of Australia. Obverse includes an effigy of Queen Elizabeth II. Reverse field features the image of a koala lying on a tree branch.
The Perth Mint originally opened in 1899 and was the last of the three colonial branches of the UK’s Royal Mint in Australia. While the Sydney Mint and Melbourne Mint would eventually close, the Perth Mint was handed over to the state government of Western Australia, which still has ownership and control over the mint to this day. 2012 10 oz Australian Silver Koala Coins will be packaged and shipped in protective capsules. Each coin in this listing contains 10 Troy oz of .999 pure silver and a face value of $10 (AUD). The obverse of 2012 10 oz Silver Koala Coins features an effigy of Queen Elizabeth II. This right-profile portrait is the fourth-generation design from Ian Rank-Broadley and was created in 1998. A koala lying in a tree branch is shown on the reverse of all 2012 Australian Silver Koala Coins. A unique image of a koala is featured every year of this coin program. Koalas are known to sleep for up to 18-20 hours a day making this design a perfect representation of the Australian animal.
