2020 Niue $2 2-oz Silver Koala Preserve Planet Earth High Relief Proof NGC PF70UC First Releases w/ Black Core

Help Preserve the Planet With This Silver Koala

No one who has seen the heart-rending images of the injured and dying animals trying to escape Australia’s out-of-control wildfires has been left without feeling deeply affected by the sadness of it all. The thought that more than a billion animals were lost during the devastating 2019-2020 bushfire season is a numbing statistic.

To help focus attention on the recovery efforts related to the wildfires that laid waste to large portions of Australia, England’s world-renowned British Pobjoy Mint struck a limited edition of “Preserve Planet Earth” proofs that feature a koala bear, Australia’s quintessential animal. Minted in two full ounces of highly pure 99.99% silver, this poignant coin depicts the cuddly little marsupial perched on a tree branch with an outline of Australia in the background.

The coin’s incredible high relief gives added depth to the distinctively Australian mammal and its big innocent eyes that seem to be pleading for help. The detail is all the more amazing thanks to its pristine proof condition. In fact, each coin available in this offer has been graded by the Numismatic Guaranty Corporation (NGC) as being in flawless Proof-70 Ultra Cameo (PF70UC) condition, a distinction that means these perfectly-graded proofs will have ZERO imperfections – showing all features and fields exactly as the engraver and mint intended. In addition, NGC has certified that these Silver Koala Preserve Planet Earth High Relief Proofs are First Releases (FR) coins, a designation that means they were received by NGC or an NGC-approved depository within the first 30 days of their release.

Sales of this coin will also help Australia recover because Pobjoy will donate 15% of the proceeds from the sale of this coin to the NSW Wildlife Information, Rescue and Education Services, which is Australia’s largest wildlife rescue organization. Following the catastrophic fires, the non-profit group said it will be focusing on increasing its capacity to rescue and care for more individual animals and to improve long-term outcomes for native animals.

Issued by Pobjoy on behalf of Niue, an island nation in the South Pacific Ocean located just 3,600 miles from Australia, just 500 of these 2020 Two-Ounce Silver Koala Preserve Planet Earth High Relief Proofs will ever be struck. Plus, each one available in this offer come accompanied by its original mint packaging consisting of a unique acrylic box, illustrated sleeve and a Certificate of Authenticity.

This thought-provoking coin is a vivid reminder that we can all play a role in preserving planet Earth and its many creatures. If you’re a collector of Koala coins, love Australia or simply want to make a difference, this coin is a good start. Click one to your cart today.
