2021 Australia $100 1-oz Gold Koala High Relief Proof NGC PF70 First Day of Issue

Low Mintage 2021 One-Ounce Gold Koala High Relief Proofs

One of Australia’s most popular annual series is the Koala Proof, struck here in one ounce of 99.99% pure gold with frosty devices and mirrored fields. It also may be one of The Perth Mint’s most limited series, with just 200 coins struck for the entire world!

New, One-Year-Only Koala Design

Each year brings a new one-year-only reverse design featuring one of the nation’s best-loved marsupials. For 2021, the koala is shown curled up at the top of a tree, nestled for a rest between two branches. Above are the words “AUSTRALIA KOALA” with the date, weight and fineness below. To the left is The Perth Mint’s iconic “P” mint mark. The obverse displays the current effigy of Queen Elizabeth II. The design is even more spectacular thanks to the added High Relief element that makes the design sit higher than usual off the concave surface — an incredible effect that makes it seem as if the tree-loving koala is popping off the coin and crawling right into your lap!

Flawless Proofs From the First Day They Were Issued

Plus, each coin available here was expertly crafted by the mint from hand-selected planchets, polished dies and multiple strikes to produce beautifully frosted details rising over mirror-like fields. In fact, these coins have been graded by the Numismatic Guaranty Corporation (NGC) as being in flawless Proof-70 (PF70) condition, a distinction that means these perfectly-graded proofs have ZERO imperfections — showing all features and fields exactly as the engraver and mint intended!

In addition, NGC has also certified that these 2021 Australia One-Ounce Gold Koala High Relief Proofs are First Day of Issue (FDI) coins, meaning that they were received by NGC or an NGC-approved depository by the release date or on the business day within 24 hours of the official release date. Collectors seek out these coins because they are produced with new dies and considered to have sharper strikes and deeper mirrors than those that are struck later. Also, the population of coins labeled First Day of Issue is only a fraction of the total mintage.

Don’t wait for this year’s limited mintage to run out — secure yours now before it’s too late and they’re all climbing into somebody else’s collection.
