Product Details
Craftsmanship Precision and Substantial Intrinsic Value
The full weight of 2 kilograms of fine silver gives this coin an impressive physical presence. The high purity of 999.9 silver ensures a clear and bright metal surface that develops a gentle shine depending on the light. The large diameter of 101 millimeters provides space for a sculptural depiction of the koala in high relief style. The antique finish creates a matte surface with fine texture that turns each coin into a unique piece. The Perth Mint is known for precise metalworking and elaborate finishing techniques. Every piece is carefully inspected and edge-numbered, ensuring long-term verification of authenticity.
Superior Fact:
The Perth Mint belongs to a small circle of the world’s leading mints for high-quality collector coins. Its high-relief issues are struck under high pressure using specially developed dies and extra-deep planchets, resulting in particularly sculptural motifs with sharp contours.

Motif and Design
The Koala as an Aesthetic Symbol of Nature
The motif depicts a peacefully slumbering koala nestled in the branches of a eucalyptus tree. Fine lines shape the texture of the fur, while the leaves and blossoms reflect the tranquil atmosphere of the Australian bush. Light reflections glide softly across the raised areas, emphasizing the three-dimensional design. The entire composition conveys calm and a deep bond with the natural world of the fifth continent. The design appears particularly harmonious because the antique finish darkens the recesses while subtly highlighting the raised elements. This creates an authentic character reminiscent of museum-grade metal objects.
Historical and Cultural Background
The Australian Icon with Symbolic Power
The koala has long been considered an unofficial symbol of Australia. It stands for tranquility, closeness to nature, and respect for the continent’s unique wildlife. The Perth Mint regularly features this iconic motif in its series, creating a cultural link between numismatic artistry and Australian identity.
Exclusivity and Investment Value
Limited Mintage as a Guarantee of Long-Term Stability
With only 200 pieces worldwide, this edition ranks among the rarest large-format silver coins of The Perth Mint. The low mintage ensures sustained demand among collectors and investors who prefer substantial silver pieces for their intrinsic material basis. The increasing scarcity of high-quality collector coins of this size enhances their attractiveness and establishes long-term stable prospects for resale. Secure one of the few available pieces of this strictly limited 2 kg koala silver coin before it sells out.
Special Features
Tangible Substance and Authentic Metal Feel
The combination of high weight and large surface area creates an incomparable tactile experience. When viewed, it immediately conveys a sense of solidity, further enhanced by the fine antique surface structure. The massive weight stabilizes value in volatile market phases, as large silver pieces are popular among both collectors and precious metal investors. Silver in this dimension convinces with a balanced relation between material price and long-term stability, making the coin not only aesthetically appealing but also economically interesting.
