Collectors and silver stackers alike are drawn to this series because the reverse Koala design changes every single year, making each annual release a distinct piece rather than a repeating issue. With mintage capped at 300,000 coins per year for the 1 oz size, availability is limited, and the series has been running continuously since 2007.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3 class=\"aaa-pdp__h\" style=\"font-size:18px;color:#023864;margin:22px 0 10px;border-bottom:2px solid #d4ae3b;padding-bottom:6px;display:inline-block;\"\u003eSpecifications\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul class=\"aaa-pdp__specs\" style=\"list-style:none;padding:0;margin:0;\"\u003e\n\u003cli style=\"display:flex;justify-content:space-between;gap:16px;padding:7px 0;border-bottom:1px solid #eee;font-size:14.5px;\"\u003e\n\u003cspan class=\"k\" style=\"color:#6b7280;font-weight:600;\"\u003eMint Mark\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan class=\"v\" style=\"color:#1f2733;text-align:right;\"\u003ePerth Mint (Not Shown)\u003c\/span\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli style=\"display:flex;justify-content:space-between;gap:16px;padding:7px 0;border-bottom:1px solid #eee;font-size:14.5px;\"\u003e\n\u003cspan class=\"k\" style=\"color:#6b7280;font-weight:600;\"\u003ePurity\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan class=\"v\" style=\"color:#1f2733;text-align:right;\"\u003e.999\u003c\/span\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli style=\"display:flex;justify-content:space-between;gap:16px;padding:7px 0;border-bottom:1px solid #eee;font-size:14.5px;\"\u003e\n\u003cspan class=\"k\" style=\"color:#6b7280;font-weight:600;\"\u003eManufacturer\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan class=\"v\" style=\"color:#1f2733;text-align:right;\"\u003ePerth Mint\u003c\/span\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli style=\"display:flex;justify-content:space-between;gap:16px;padding:7px 0;border-bottom:1px solid #eee;font-size:14.5px;\"\u003e\n\u003cspan class=\"k\" style=\"color:#6b7280;font-weight:600;\"\u003eThickness\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan class=\"v\" style=\"color:#1f2733;text-align:right;\"\u003e2.98 mm\u003c\/span\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli style=\"display:flex;justify-content:space-between;gap:16px;padding:7px 0;border-bottom:1px solid #eee;font-size:14.5px;\"\u003e\n\u003cspan class=\"k\" style=\"color:#6b7280;font-weight:600;\"\u003eDiameter\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan class=\"v\" style=\"color:#1f2733;text-align:right;\"\u003e40.6 mm\u003c\/span\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli style=\"display:flex;justify-content:space-between;gap:16px;padding:7px 0;border-bottom:1px solid #eee;font-size:14.5px;\"\u003e\n\u003cspan class=\"k\" style=\"color:#6b7280;font-weight:600;\"\u003eSeries\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan class=\"v\" style=\"color:#1f2733;text-align:right;\"\u003eAustralian Koala (began 2007)\u003c\/span\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli style=\"display:flex;justify-content:space-between;gap:16px;padding:7px 0;border-bottom:1px solid #eee;font-size:14.5px;\"\u003e\n\u003cspan class=\"k\" style=\"color:#6b7280;font-weight:600;\"\u003ePackaging Type\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan class=\"v\" style=\"color:#1f2733;text-align:right;\"\u003eProtective packaging\u003c\/span\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli style=\"display:flex;justify-content:space-between;gap:16px;padding:7px 0;border-bottom:1px solid #eee;font-size:14.5px;\"\u003e\n\u003cspan class=\"k\" style=\"color:#6b7280;font-weight:600;\"\u003eMetal Weight\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan class=\"v\" style=\"color:#1f2733;text-align:right;\"\u003e1 troy oz\u003c\/span\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli style=\"display:flex;justify-content:space-between;gap:16px;padding:7px 0;border-bottom:1px solid #eee;font-size:14.5px;\"\u003e\n\u003cspan class=\"k\" style=\"color:#6b7280;font-weight:600;\"\u003eDesign\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan class=\"v\" style=\"color:#1f2733;text-align:right;\"\u003eObverse: right-facing profile of Queen Elizabeth II with face value; Reverse: varies by year — Koala design changes annually\u003c\/span\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch3 class=\"aaa-pdp__h\" style=\"font-size:18px;color:#023864;margin:22px 0 10px;border-bottom:2px solid #d4ae3b;padding-bottom:6px;display:inline-block;\"\u003eFrequently Asked Questions\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cdl class=\"aaa-pdp__faq\" style=\"margin:0;\"\u003e\n\u003cdt style=\"font-weight:700;color:#023864;margin:14px 0 4px;font-size:15px;\"\u003eWhat exactly is the Silver Australian Koala 1 oz coin?\u003c\/dt\u003e\n\u003cdd style=\"margin:0 0 4px;color:#3a434f;line-height:1.55;font-size:14.5px;\"\u003eIt is a 1 troy oz silver bullion coin produced by the Perth Mint in Australia.
