A unique and groundbreaking tribute to one of Australia’s greatest bush icons, this is the Perth Mint’s first Silver Koala coin to feature an INCUSE design!

An incuse strike, with the design pressed into the coin rather than raised from the surface of the coin, is seldom seen in modern coinage. The method does have a long history, however, with many coins in previous centuries having incuse elements.

Seemingly a contradiction in terms, the Perth Mint’s first incuse Silver Koala coin is therefore both innovative and deeply attached to the past. Sure to provoke significant demand worldwide, the limited edition of this unique Australian legal tender issue has been set at 5,000 coins – each housed in a case with a numbered Certificate of Authenticity.
