The koala is one of Australia’s favorite marsupials and is a quintessential icon of the land down under. The Perth Mint introduced the Koala series in 2007, and it has been a perennial hit with collectors and investors ever since. Now, the Mint is introducing its first ever 10 oz silver bullion piedfort coin featuring a mother and baby koala.

This .9999 fine silver coin, while only 65 mm in diameter, is crafted with an extra thick planchet in the style of traditional ‘piedforts’ (pronounced pee-ay-fore). Piedfort coins can be traced back to twelfth century France, where their name was derived from the french words for “heavy weight”. The 10 oz Silver Piedfort Koala is the perfect way to accumulate a larger amount of silver in one purchase with a distinctive and collectible design. Add this coin to your collection today!
