The obverse of the 2018 Australian Mother & Baby Koala Silver Coins features the right-profile portrait of Queen Elizabeth II. This design by Ian Rank-Broadley has appeared on countless coins across the Commonwealth since 1998. It shows the Queen wearing her royal diadem and is set against a field with inscriptions of her name, the coin’s face value, and issuing nation.

On the reverse of the 2018 10 oz Mother & Baby Koala Silver Coin, you’ll find a touching image of a mother koala climbing along a eucalyptus tree branch. Her joey clings to her back as they move through their natural habitat. The design also includes the Perth Mint’s famous “P” mint mark, which confirms the coin’s authenticity and origin.

This release is significant as the first 10 oz silver coin in the Perth Mint’s Next Generation Series, featuring a unique piedfort design. “Piedfort” is a French term meaning “heavy weight” and refers to coins that are thicker and heavier than typical issues of the same diameter, adding to their appeal among collectors.

Each 2018 10 oz Australian Mother & Baby Koala Silver Coin comes in a protective plastic capsule. The 10 oz coin is joined by a 2 oz version in the same series, with limited mintages of just 2,500 coins for the 10 oz option and 75,000 coins for the 2 oz option.
