The 2012 1 Kilo Silver Koala Coin features a dozing Koala on what is likely a large Eucalyptus branch. The design is by noted artist Aleysha Howarth. The Koala is an iconic animal that is synonymous with Australian wildlife.

The 2012 1 kilo Silver Koala by the Perth Mint is part of a relatively new silver bullion series, having been introduced in 2007. While there are no mintage limits on the Silver Koala, the series has been quick in becoming a mainstay for both collectors and investors. The 2012 Silver Koala Coins were first made available on November 1, 2011.

Silver Koala coins come individually encased in a plastic capsule from the Perth Mint. The Silver Koala is minted in ½ oz, 1 oz, 10 oz, and 1 kilo sizes.

Koala Fun Facts

The koala is a marsupial native to Australia. It is often mistaken for a wombat, its closest living relative. The koala diet consists almost entirely of eucalyptus leaves. The koala has an extremely low metabolic rate, and rest motionless between 16 to 18 hours a day. The Koala nearly faced extinction in the early 20th century due to hunting for the Koala’s pelt. Currently, habitat loss, disease and urbanization threaten the viability of the koala population.
