One of Australia's most recognizable native animals is featured on new Royal Australian Mint gold and silver coins. Koalas are small mammals typical of Australia, belonging to the order of marsupials. This extraordinary piece was made of pure Au.9999 gold, with a face value of $100, weighing one troy ounce. In addition to the investment potential, the coin is also recommended to collectors due to its very limited mintage of only 1,000 pieces. The issuer of Koala is the world-famous manufacturer of investment products - Royal Australian Mint. All items containing the image of the Koala will act as legal tender and will have a guarantee from the Australian government as to the legality, purity of the metal and the origin of the metal. The obverse of the gold coin depicts Queen Elizabeth II, designed by Jody Clark, along with information about the nominal value, country of issue and year of minting. The reverse of the item contains an engraved image of a koala in the wild. The reverse also contains the inscription "KOALA" and information about the weight and purity of the metal.
