This 1 kilogram silver Koala coin was minted in 2020 by The Perth Mint. The coin contains 99,99% fine silver, weighs 1 kilogram and is part of the popular Koala series, which features a different design each year.
The 1-kilogram silver coins are particularly favored in Europe because they are considerably more affordable to acquire than 1-kilogram silver bars, as bars are subject to a 21% VAT while all coins are traded under the favorable margin scheme.
The koala series returns annually with a renewed Koala design. This makes the coins also popular among collectors. These coins are delivered in a protected plastic coin capsule.
This edition of the series features a Koala clinging to a eucalyptus branch, appearing to climb upwards. The design is crafted by Ing Ing Jong. The obverse also displays the year, weight, and silver purity.
The reverse side of the coin showcases a portrait of Queen Elizabeth II. Above her, the text ‘ELIZABETH II - AUSTRALIA’ is inscribed. At the bottom of the coin, the nominal value of 30 dollars is displayed, as the coin holds legal tender status in Australia.
