Australian Koala Platinum Bullion Coin
Considered the most beautiful of all
platinum bullion coins, the Australian
Koala is exquisitely designed and extensively
frosted, for a luminous brilliance not
found on other platinum bullion coins.
Australia was the first major nation
in modern times to announce its intention
to produce an ounce-denominated platinum
coin issue and since its first year
of issue, the Australian Koala platinum
coins have remained a leader in world
investment coin markets.
The design on the obverse of the Platinum
Koala features an Ian Rank Broadley
portrait of Queen Elizabeth II. She
is encircled by her name, the name of
the country, and the denomination. The
reverse design of the Koala changes
annually, save for the larger sizes
in certain years. Each year features
a different representation of the cuddly,
tree-climbing marsupial.
