other Towns & Cities! |  | 2010 Austrailian 1 oz Silver Koala | |
Struck from 99.9% pure silver, the coins are all considered legal tender under the Australian Currency Act of 1965. Also, the Australian government guarantees the weight and purity of each coin the Perth Mint produces in this line.
In keeping with its legal tender status, the obverse of each of these coins contains an image of Queen Elizabeth II designed by Ian Rank-Broadley. Surrounding the Queen’s portrait are the inscriptions ‘Elizabeth II,’ ‘Australia,’ ‘2010′ and the denomination.
The reverse contains an all new image of a koala sitting on a tree branch eating leaves. The furry creatures spend most of their lives high up in the Eucalyptus trees, almost continually eating the leaves, which are toxic to most other creatures. Also shown are the inscriptions of ‘999 Silver’ and the coins size.
