Bought from @ChardsCoinandBullionDealer. 2018 1oz Australian Silver Koala (BU). Obverse: The Ian Rank-Broadley likeness of Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II and the monetary denomination. Reverse: Portrays a koala designed by Neil Hollis sitting on the branch of a eucalyptus tree surrounded by gum leaves. The inscription "Australian Koala", the Perth Mint's "P" mint mark, the 2018 year-date, and the .9999 purity are also featured in the design. 

When early European settlers first encountered koalas in Australia, they thought the tree-climbing animals were monkeys or bears. Even though they're still referred to by some as "koala bears", they're actually marsupials like kangaroos and wombats. Koalas have special physical characteristics that complement their tree-dwelling lifestyle.

Koalas are able to grip branches and pick eucalyptus leaves with their two opposable digits, and their tough skin and sharp claws provide traction in climbing. They even have extra thick fur on their seat so they can sit comfortably on branches for hours! Unique to Australia, these animals are a perfect theme for an iconic coin series.

My completed 1oz Silver Koala collections. 

Have to say I’m drawn to the 2011 one most.
