2023 Australia $8 5-oz Silver Koala High Relief Pink Gold-Gilded Piedfort Proof

Baby Joey Taking A Ride On Australia’s 2023 High Relief, High-Purity Silver Koala With Pink Gold Gilding

This 2023 Silver Koala struck by Australia’s world-famous Perth Mint in five ounces of highly pure 99.99% fine silver is a spectacular looking double-thick “Piedfort” coin! Sure, the sleepy koala resting on the branches of a eucalyptus tree might make you picture how good a nap might feel—until you notice the finely sculpted detail that makes the design an extraordinary entry into the Koala Coin Series of one-year-only designs now in its 17th year.

Eye-Popping Designs Augmented With Selective Pink Gold Gilding

Not only that, but the coin’s high relief obverse is minted on a concave surface to ensure the optimum flow of metal is achieved by the strike of the die making the design pop off the surface of the coin. Then the exquisite proof finish is selectively highlighted by 22-karat pink gold gilding. The adorable one-year-only design depicts a mother koala on a gum tree branch with a joey clinging to its back as it climbs steadily upward. While mama is intent on her climbing, her baby is looking out from the coin as if to say, “This is the life!” Above the pair is the inscription “KOALA,” while on the left side of the design is the iconic “P” mint mark of Australia’s Perth Mint. The intricate details provide a perfect setting for this gorgeous marsupial.

Gorgeous Proof Koala With Original Mint Packaging

Your 2023 Australia Koala High Relied Five-Ounce Silver Pink Gold-Gilded Piedfort coin will come in gorgeous Proof condition, meaning it 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.
