2017 Australia 1 Dollar 1-oz Silver Koala NGC MS69

Australia's Cutest Critters Turn Ten

2017 marks the tenth release of The Perth Mint's beloved Silver Koala series! It seems like just yesterday the very first cuddly critter was released, struck in a full ounce of 99.9% silver. Who could have foreseen just how popular this series would become?

Perhaps it's due to the one-year-only designs, like this year's koala, shown sitting contentedly in the grass next to a eucalyptus tree. Perhaps it's the ability to get these coins in Mint State 69 (MS69) condition. Whatever it is, we can't wait to see what the next ten years will bring!
