Certified Australian Koala 1 oz Silver 2010 MS70 NGC

Koala silver coin is part of the popular annual bullion series from the Perth Mint, featuring a new koala design each year. This example has been certified by NGC as MS70, the highest possible grade, indicating a flawless strike with no post-production imperfections visible at 5× magnification. The reverse depicts a detailed koala perched on a tree branch with textured fur detail and eucalyptus leaves, with the inscriptions “AUSTRALIAN KOALA,” the year “2010,” and “1 oz 999 SILVER.” The Perth Mint’s “P” mintmark is included near the lower left of the design.

The obverse displays the portrait of Queen Elizabeth II by Ian Rank-Broadley, encircled by the legends “ELIZABETH II,” “AUSTRALIA,” and the denomination “1 DOLLAR.” The mirrored and satin-like contrast of the strike, paired with the sharp relief, is characteristic of premium bullion issues from the Perth Mint. The encapsulation by NGC preserves the coin’s condition and confirms its perfect grade.
