Product Details

In 1988, the Perth Mint launched the Australian Platinum Koala coin series, making it one of the first platinum bullion collections from a major industrialized nation. This series ran from 1988 to 2000 and featured various weights, including 1 oz, 1/2 oz, 1/4 oz, and 1/10 oz platinum coins. Currently, 1996 1 oz Australian Platinum Koala Coins are available from BullionMax.

Coin Highlights:

  • Coin arrives in a protective plastic flip!
  • 9th release of Platinum Koalas!
  • Declared mintage of only 23,761 coins!
  • Contains 1 Troy oz of .9995 pure platinum.
  • Issued a face value of $100 (AUD) by Australia.
  • Features Queen Elizabeth II on the obverse.
  • Depicts a koala in a tree on the reverse.

The obverse of the 1996 1 oz Platinum Koala Coin features a right-profile depiction of Queen Elizabeth II. This effigy, created by Raphael Maklouf in 1985, shows Her Majesty wearing the George IV State Diadem. It’s a classic representation that reflects the artistry of the time.

On the reverse of 1996 Australian Platinum Koalas, you’ll find a charming image of a koala sitting in the branches of a tree. These iconic marsupials are easily recognized by their round ears and unique faces. Native to the eucalyptus forests of Australia, koalas are often mistakenly called “koala bears,” although they are more closely related to wombats.

Koalas primarily eat eucalyptus leaves, which are toxic to many other animals. Their specialized digestive systems allow them to detoxify these leaves, but their diet is low in nutrients. This is why koalas can sleep for up to 20 hours a day to save energy.

These 1996 1 oz Australian Platinum Koala Coins are available in a protective flip. The 1996 release from the Perth Mint included multiple weights, with the 1 oz coin being a popular choice among collectors.
