The Perth Mint first introduced the Australian Platinum Koala coin series in 1988, making it one of the earliest platinum bullion collections available. The Platinum Koala series ran from 1988 until 2000, and during that time, the mint produced coins in several weights, including 1 oz, 1/2 oz, 1/4 oz, and 1/10 oz. Right now, 1992 1 oz Australian Platinum Koala Coins are available at BullionMax.

Koalas are known for their solitary nature, with each adult maintaining its own “home range” among the trees. These ranges often overlap, especially among females and their young. Male koalas are particularly vocal during the breeding season, which typically occurs from December to March. They emit a unique bellow to communicate their presence and attract potential mates.

Each 1992 1 oz Australian Platinum Koala Coin is available in a protective flip. This particular coin represents the fifth release in the series, with a distinct design for the koala that was only used for this year. The series came to an end in 2000, adding to the appeal of these coins for collectors and investors alike.

The obverse side of the 1992 Australian Platinum Koala Coins features Queen Elizabeth II. This portrait, designed by Raphael Maklouf in 1985, shows the Queen facing right, adorned with the George IV State Diadem, a crown she commonly wore during state functions.

On the reverse of 1992 1 oz Platinum Koalas, the koala is depicted sitting at the Y-branch of a tree, using its paws to grasp the branches. Koalas continue to fascinate scientists, who have discovered that their fingerprints are strikingly similar to those of humans.
