Description
1991 1 oz Australian Platinum Koala Coin
Perth Mint is known for its innovation when it comes to coin programs and coin designs. While the Australian Silver Kookaburra is widely regarded as its most popular annual–release coin with changing reverse designs, the Platinum Koala was the first to use this approach. Right now, 1991 1 oz Australian Platinum Koala Coins are available to purchase online.
Coin Highlights:
- Arrives in individual protective capsules!
- 4th year for the Australian Platinum Koala Coin!
- Limited mintage of 52,106 coins!
- Contains 1 Troy oz of .9995 pure platinum.
- Bears a face value of $100 (AUD) backed by the federal government of Australia.
- Obverse features Queen Elizabeth II.
- Reverse includes a depiction of a koala clinging to a tree.
Each of the 1991 1 oz Australian Platinum Koala Coins available here at JM Bullion comes with individual protective capsules. In the fourth issue of the Platinum Koala, the 1 oz platinum coin saw its demand continue to retreat from the first two issues in 1988 and 1989. However, 1991 had a mintage nearly double that of the previous year.
Australian Platinum Koala coins were available from Perth Mint from 1988 to 2000. Perth Mint initially offered the coins in 1 oz, 1/2 oz, 1/4 oz, and 1/10 oz platinum, and later introduced 1 Kilo, 10 oz, and 2 oz platinum options. The series was canceled after 2000 due to plummeting demand for platinum.
Obverse designs on 1991 Australian Platinum Koalas include a portrait of Queen Elizabeth II. The most common portrait to feature on the coins during its run, this image shows Her Majesty in right-profile relief wearing the George IV State Diadem. This design was created in 1985 by Raphael Maklouf.
Reverse visuals on the 1991 1 oz Platinum Koala depict a koala clinging to a tree. Like the coins of the modern Silver Koala bullion series, these historic Platinum Koalas offer ever-changing depictions of the koala in its native habitat.
