2012 Australia 1/2 oz Silver Koala BU
2012 Australia 1/2 oz Silver Koala BU
The 2012 edition of Australia's popular Silver Koala series showcases a heartwarming wildlife scene. Struck in a half-ounce of 0.999 fine silver, this coin captures a quiet moment in the Australian bush, depicting a mother koala resting on a tree branch with her young cub clinging to her back. This annual series is highly anticipated by enthusiasts because the reverse design changes completely every year, offering a fresh artistic perspective on one of the continent's most beloved marsupials. On the obverse, the coin bears the classic effigy of Queen Elizabeth II designed by Ian Rank-Broadley, as indicated by the tiny initials IRB below the portrait. Surrounding the royal likeness are the inscriptions denoting the monarch's name, the issuing nation of Australia, and the face value of 50 cents. Backed by the Australian government, this sovereign coin combines exceptional purity with the renowned craftsmanship of the Perth Mint, represented by its signature P mint mark.
