OH MY GOODNESS!!!

For awhile now I had seen these special koala coins on the Bold Precious Metals website.

Each coin is from the Perth Mint. Each coin features the 2019 koala design. Each coin is 1oz of .9999 pure silver.

So what makes them special?

THIS!!!

^{What in the heck?}

^{Queen side. You can also see these cardboard sleeves are the COAs for each coin.}

I don’t think I have been this excited for a coin order in FOREVER. For one, I love Perth Mint koala coins. The 2017 koala was the first silver I ever bought for myself. Then I went crazy and bought a one ounce BU version of every coin in the series. (Well not the different privy marks... just the normal version for each year.) Secondly, my husband is an Aussie and I lived there for a time. So these coins seem perfect for our little family.

ALSO...

These have a limited mintage of ONLY 500 each!

Another fun fact is each series covers all of the world coins.

What this means is each koala is one release of a greater series. Each series covers all the BIG world coins. So instead of collecting all koalas like me, you could instead get the entire space blue series which includes a koala, maple, philharmonic, ASE, kangaroo, kookaburra, panda, and Britannia. The Glowing Galaxy series includes this same collection of reimagined coins, and the Golden Ring set features these same eight plus a wedge tailed eagle and an Austrian Wiener Neustadt.

SO COOL!!!

Now let’s break down each coin.

2019 Australia Koala - Space Blue

According to my COA, this coin is 445/500. The face value is one dollar (though the premium is BIG). The blue color is added via galvanic-plating. The color is said to be transparent and does not conceal any aspect of the design.

2019 Australian Koala - Golden Ring

According to my COA, this coin is 153/500.This coin has been ennobled with two separate metals, yellow-gold and ruthenium. These cover the .9999 pure silver underneath.

Australian Koala - Glowing Galaxy

Out of the three coins, this comes in at the lowest number 113/500. The coin has been ennobled with a dark blue coating reminiscent of outer space. The stars are fluorescent and are meant to glow in the dark!
