Australian Silver Koala is one of the official Australia bullion silver coins and produced at the Perth Mint. While the obverse of the coin always depicts Queen Elizabeth II, the reverse side changes every year, always featuring the koala. Silver koalas have higher collectible value than some other bullion coins due to the yearly design change and limited production. Originally minted in 2007, the coin was only offered in 1 troy ounce, and then starting in 2008 the coins have minted yearly in up to five different sizes including a massive 1kg. Perth Mint originally had no caps on the population of one-ounce coins produced, but since 2018, its population has been capped to 300,000 making this a collectible coin that has some numismatic values. The Australian Silver Koala coin is very popular with investors, and may be used to fund Individual Retirement Account investments.
