2019 Australia $1 1-oz Silver Koala PCGS MS69 First Strike - Flag Label
Australia’s Adorable Koala Returns for 2019!
If you ever get the chance to see a group of Koala bears, you’ll notice that they don’t seem to be in a hurry to do anything. They slowly go about their business munching on eucalyptus leaves and perhaps pausing from time to time to commiserate with each other about the indignities foisted upon them by Qantas Airlines. One area where they DO move fast is on these coins struck by Australia’s world-renowned Perth Mint where the coins of its annual Koala series are among the most adorable releases to hit the market each year!
2019 marks the 13th year of the popular Australia Silver Koala series and this year’s one-year-only design of the cute little marsupial just makes you want to grab the little critter and smother it with hugs! The new design finds our unhurried marsupial sitting on a tree branch, his head cocked to one side in an expression of curiosity as eucalyptus leaves flutter in the breeze. It almost looks like he’s smiling as he slowly prepares himself to grab some of the hanging vegetation for his lunch! Intricate details in both the foreground and background provide a perfect setting for this gorgeous mammal. The design is beautifully engraved on this impressive 40.6 mm coin struck in highly-pure 99.99% silver.
Your 2019 Australian Silver One-Ounce Koala bullion coin has been graded by the Professional Coin Grading Service (PCGS) as being in near-perfect Mint State-69 (MS69) condition, a distinction that means your almost-flawless coin will showcase an impressive full strike and indistinguishable imperfections – well above and beyond the quality of the vast majority of coins in the series. It will also come sonically sealed in an acrylic capsule to protect its provenance for a lifetime. In addition, PCGS has graded your Silver Koala to be a First Strike (FS) coin, meaning that your coin was among the first struck by the mint and was verified within the first 30 days of issue. It will also come sonically sealed in an acrylic holder with a special Australian flag label.
Strong collector interest in the Silver Koala series over the past decade has compelled the Perth Minty to apply a maximum mintage of just 300,000 worldwide. That “max mintage” rule went into effect in 2016 making the year’s mintage much lower than previous years. For example, the Mint released more than 450,000 coins in 2015, more than 477,000 in 2013, and more than 910,000 in 2011! The combination of its one-year-only design, silver purity, and limited edition make these beautiful coins very attractive to coin collectors, koala lovers and silver stackers around the world.
- ADORABLE ONE-YEAR-ONLY DESIGN – The one-year-only design for the 2019 Australian Koala depicts the adorable bear sitting on a eucalyptus tree branch along with the coin’s year date, weight and precious metal content.
