Certified Australian Koala 1 oz Silver 2017 MS70 PCGS

This 2017 issue from the Australian Koala series was struck by The Perth Mint and certified by PCGS as MS70, the highest possible grade on the Sheldon scale. The coin’s obverse features a finely detailed koala seated at the base of a tree, with a rural background scene including a second tree and rolling landscape. The inscriptions “AUSTRALIAN KOALA,” “2017,” “1oz 999 SILVER,” and the Perth Mint’s “P” mintmark appear around the rim, with sharply defined relief and bright, satiny surfaces typical of premium Perth Mint bullion issues.

The reverse bears the effigy of Queen Elizabeth II designed by Ian Rank-Broadley, encircled by the inscriptions “ELIZABETH II,” “AUSTRALIA,” and the denomination “1 DOLLAR.” The coin is encapsulated in a PCGS holder with an Australian-themed label featuring a koala graphic and the grade MS70, indicating perfect strike and surface quality with no visible imperfections under 5× magnification.
