The Australian Silver Koala coin is one of the most popular annual releases from Australia’s Perth Mint. The Koala is part of a greater series of bullion coins featuring the continent’s unique wildlife species, including the long-standing Australian Silver Kookaburra and all-new Australian Silver Kangaroo. Today, the 2017 1 Kilo Silver Australian Koala Coin is available to you online at Silver.com.

Coin Highlights:

  • Ships to you in a protective plastic capsule.
  • 11th anniversary design for the Australian Silver Koala!
  • No mintage limits in place from the Perth Mint!
  • Consists of One Kilogram, or 32.15 Troy ounces, of .999 fine silver in BU condition.
  • Face value of $30 (AUD) is fully backed by Australia’s government.
  • Obverse bears Queen Elizabeth II’s effigy.
  • Reverse includes the all-new 2017 Koala design.

There are a lot of misconceptions outside of Australian when it comes to the koala. First among them, the name “koala bear.” Much like the beloved kangaroo, the koala is actually a marsupial and is a largely nocturnal animal that sleeps up to 18 hours in a given day. Additionally, the cuddly image of the koala is misleading. When tested, the animals have the capacity to defend themselves with a nasty temperament.

2017 1 Kilo Silver Australian Koala coins mark the 10th anniversary release of the beloved koala coin, which has enjoyed a strong run over the past decade with these coins featuring the 11th new design used in the series.

On the obverse of the 2017 1 Kilo Silver Australian Koala is the image of Queen Elizabeth II. Her Majesty features on the obverse of all Australian coinage, and her effigy has been on Australian coins since 1952. The most recent one in use on Australian currency, this is a 1998 right-profile portrait from Ian Rank-Broadley.

The reverse of the 2017 1 Kilo Silver Australian Koala coin includes the brand-new koala design for this year. It depicts the beloved marsupial sitting at the base of a eucalyptus tree on the Outback, with engravings of the coin name above the design field and its year of issue, weight, purity, and metal content below.

Each 2017 1 Kilo Silver Australian Koala coin here is in BU condition. Coins in this condition have no signs of wear and tear on the surfaces, though you are likely to notice a range of minor flaws that include breaks in the luster, spotted surfaces, or contact marks resulting from striking at the mint.

Perth Mint was founded in 1898 as the third and final facility in London’s Royal Mint system on the continent. The facility is now owned and operated by the government of Western Australia, and though not affiliated with the Royal Australian Mint, its coins enjoy legal-tender status under the Currency Act of 1965.

Is my information secure?

We take data security very seriously. When you place an order with silver.com, your information is transmitted with the utmost SSL (secure socket layers) 256-bit protection. We also never have access to your credit/debit card details, as they are securely communicated directly to the payment processor (Authorize.net) and never retained by Silver.com. For this reason, we also don't process credit/debit card orders over the phone, as it is the least secure way to process those transactions.

In addition, all VISA and MasterCard orders undergo an additional step of user authentication - the respective Verified by VISA or MasterCard SecureCode programs. Upon completing checkout with a VISA or MasterCard credit/debit card, you may be promoted for additional details to confirm your identity and protect our customers against credit card fraud.

Finally, the data we do retain in our system, including but not limited to name, address, phone number, and order history, is never shared with or sold to any unrelated third-parties. Please review our Privacy Policy for full details on our data security measures.

Please feel welcome to call us toll free at 1(888) 989-7223 or use our Live Chat feature during normal business hours Monday through Friday, 08:00 a.m. to 06:00 p.m. CST. Alternatively, you can email us at help@silver.com and expect a response within 1 business day.

Please note, the Silver.com website accepts orders 24/7/365, so you can always lock in live product prices and make purchases outside of business hours.

Do you charge sales tax?

We are required to collect sales tax in certain states. You can review your states sales tax policy here: https://www.silver.com/taxes. You should always consult with a tax adviser for specific advice in your area.

Where does your spot price come from?

We use a live, up-to-the-second spot price feed supplied by Xignite.com, a worldwide leader in the data supply market.

Are your products actually in stock?

Yes. We are one of the few bullion dealers in the industry who only deems products "in stock" when we have them on-hand and ready to ship immediately. In the instance of a presale item, we denote that the product is on presale and the estimated shipping date. While we make the best efforts to hit presale dates, the dates are only estimates, given we cannot control mint production issues and/or carrier dealyes.

Why are multiple prices listed?

We offer a 4% discount to "cash" paying customers - with paper check, bank wire, and bitcoin payments being defined as cash. On many products, we are also able to offer volume discounts to customers purchasing large quantities of the same item. All volume pricing is laid out in the chart on the product's description page, as well as in the cart.

When do I lock in my price?

All prices are locked in at the time of purchase. Credit/debit card, PayPal, BitCoin, Ethereum, and Ripple orders are paid at the time of checkout, while paper check and bank wire orders require a credit/debit card on file to lock in your pricing while we await your payment. Please note, paper check and bank wire orders will NOT result in a charge to your card - we simple maintain the card on file while we await full payment by your selected payment method.

Do you ship internationally?

We currently only ship to addresses in the United States, including APOs.
