The popular Australian Koala Silver Bullion Coin Series returns in 2020 with a new interpretation of the iconic tree-dwelling animal.
Released today, this year’s simple yet effective artistic study portrays the sleepy creature clinging to a branch.
The koala is a marsupial – a type of mammal that carries its young in a pouch. It spends long periods in eucalypt trees, usually dozing during daylight hours and consuming large quantities of its favourite gum leaves at night.
STOP PRESS: In response to the devastating bushfires ravaging Australia, The Perth Mint is donating 15% of profits from 2020 Koala bullion coins sold during the next seven days to the Port Macquarie Koala Hospital.
Issued as Australian legal tender, no more than 300,000 1oz Koala bullion coins will be released worldwide. A 1 kilo version featuring a fully frosted finish has also been released with a time limited production run ending at the end of the year.
The 2020 Australian Bullion Coin Program featuring the Koala and other well-known native species including the Kangaroo and Kookaburra are available from The Perth Mint’s Bullion Trading Desk in East Perth, via telephone on 1300 201 112 or +61 8 9421 7218, and www.perthmintbullion.com.
Investors can also check availability of these releases with leading bullion distributors.
