Product Details

Technical precision at the highest minting level

Struck from one ounce of 999.9 gold in proof quality, this limited-edition gold coin showcases the uncompromising manufacturing quality of The Perth Mint. Its diameter of 27.60 millimeters allows for an extraordinary depth effect, further enhanced by the Ultra High Relief and incused technique. Every line, every recess is created through multiple striking stages with precisely controlled pressure, resulting in a three-dimensional depiction of impressive clarity. The mirrored fields of proof quality contrast strikingly with the frosted relief areas, creating vivid light reflections with every movement.

Motif and Design

Sculptural depiction of nature in modern minting art

The design shows a koala gold coin motif in a calm posture on a eucalyptus tree, captured in a moment of quiet concentration. The incused striking gives the animal a recessed presence that appears almost sculptural and draws the viewer’s eye into the scene. Fine fur textures alternate with softly modelled surfaces, creating a harmonious interplay of light and shadow. The linework feels deliberately calm and balanced, underscoring the koala’s serene nature.

On the reverse, the portrait of King Charles III appears in detail, complemented by the weight, fineness, and the denomination of 100 dollars, precisely integrated into the overall design of the coin.

Historical and Cultural Background

The koala as a symbol of Australian identity

The koala is among Australia’s best-known animal species and is recognized worldwide as a symbol of the continent’s unique wildlife. It was scientifically described as early as the early 19th century and quickly developed into a cultural emblem of the country. Its lifestyle in eucalyptus forests and its special adaptation to this environment make it a symbol of fragile ecosystems. Today, the koala is considered vulnerable, which lends even greater meaning to its portrayal on a strictly limited collector coin. The coin thus also becomes a quiet cultural document, connecting Australian wildlife with numismatic tradition.

Exclusivity and Investment Value

Limited rarity with lasting value potential

With a mintage of only 250 pieces, this gold collector coin ranks among the rarest issues of its year. The combination of low mintage, 999.9 gold, proof quality, and sophisticated minting technique creates a highly sought-after collector coin with long-term prospects. For investors, it offers the tangible value of one ounce of fine gold, enhanced by a significant collector premium. Demand for limited Ultra High Relief issues has proven stable in recent years, especially when preserved in original condition.

Special Features

Weight, feel, and tangible substance

From the very first contact, the coin conveys a sense of value and density. The weight of one ounce of gold provides a well-balanced feel in the hand, while the relief height creates an unusual depth that is clearly tangible. This physical presence strengthens confidence in its investment value, as weight and material purity are key factors for price stability and resale potential. In the trade of physical precious metals, fine gold weight remains an internationally recognized benchmark, regardless of currency fluctuations or market developments.
