Featuring the delightful new 2014 Australian Koala design, this year’s 1/4oz gold release is a stunning new addition to the popular Koala Series.
The koala is one of Australia’s most endearing marsupials and one who spends most of its life asleep. Nocturnal by nature, the koala is known to doze for up to 20 hours a day in the dappled sunlight which penetrates the middle canopy of their favourite trees.
Struck by The Perth Mint from 1/4oz of 99.99% pure gold in proof quality, the coin is issued as legal tender under the Australian Currency Act 1965.
The Perth Mint will release no more than 1,000 of the 2014 Australian Koala 1/4oz Gold Proof Coin.
The coin's reverse depicts a close-up portrait of an adult koala with a branch of eucalyptus leaves. The design includes the inscription AUSTRALIAN KOALA, The Perth Mint’s ‘P’ mintmark and the 2014 year-date. The Ian Rank-Broadley effigy of Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II and the monetary denomination are depicted on the coin’s obverse.
The coin is housed in a prestigious black and timber display case, within an illustrated shipper, and accompanied by a numbered Certificate of Authenticity.
