1990 Australia 1/20 oz Platinum Koala BU
1990 Australia 1/20 oz Platinum Koala BU
In 1990, Australia celebrated one of its most beloved marsupials on a remarkably small scale. This coin, struck from 0.0500 troy ounces of highly pure 0.9995 platinum, showcases the exceptional craftsmanship of the Perth Mint. As a sovereign issue backed by the Australian government, it represents a fascinating intersection of precious metal artistry and native wildlife appreciation. The reverse of the coin captures a quiet moment in the Australian bush, depicting a koala perched comfortably among tree branches. This detailed scene is framed by inscriptions that highlight the coin's identity and its pure platinum composition. On the obverse, the right-facing profile of Queen Elizabeth II anchors the design, accompanied by the year of issue and the official face value of 5 Dollars.
