In 1988, the Perth Mint introduced the Australian Platinum Koala coin series, one of the first major platinum bullion collections available worldwide. This series ran from 1988 to 2000, offering a range of popular weights, including 1 oz, 1/2 oz, 1/4 oz, and 1/10 oz coins. Today, the 1993 1 oz Australian Platinum Koala Coin is available through BullionMax.

The 1993 1 oz Australian Platinum Koala Coin is the sixth release in the series and comes with a unique design found only on this year’s reverse. Each coin is packaged in a protective plastic flip, ensuring its condition for years to come.

Koalas face increasing challenges due to habitat loss from urban development, agriculture, and bushfires. Their natural eucalyptus forest homes are shrinking, and climate change is only making the problem worse. Protecting these gentle creatures and their environment is more important than ever.

On the obverse of the 1993 Platinum Koala, you’ll see Queen Elizabeth II. This right-profile portrait of the Queen was created by artist Raphael Maklouf and was the third official design used during her reign. She is depicted wearing the George IV State Diadem, a crown she often wore on formal occasions.

The reverse side features a detailed image of a koala sitting on the branches of a tree. Koalas are an iconic part of Australian wildlife, and they draw visitors from all over the world. Tourists enjoy seeing these adorable animals in wildlife parks and zoos, making them a vital part of Australia’s tourism industry.
