Australian Koala with Panda Privy 2024 1oz Silver Coin

This stunning coin celebrates two beloved animals from opposite sides of the globe – Australia’s koala and China’s giant panda. The koala, an iconic symbol of Australia, has captivated hearts with its gentle, “innocent, babyish expression,” as noted in the 1926 publication The Wild Animals of Australasia. This quiet, inoffensive marsupial, depicted clinging to a gum tree, embodies the spirit of the Australian wilderness and the charm of native fauna.

Equally cherished, China’s giant panda is easily recognised by its unique white coat with black patches around its eyes, ears, legs, and shoulders. Endemic to China, the panda has not only become a national treasure but also an ambassador for Chinese culture worldwide. Together on this coin, these two animals stand as symbols of nature’s beauty and the bond shared by both nations in celebrating their unique wildlife. This is a wonderful addition for collectors and animal lovers alike, paying tribute to the koala and panda’s special place in the world’s heart.

The Perth Mint will release no more than 3,000 of the Beijing International Coin Exposition - Australian Koala with Panda Privy 2024 1oz Silver Coin in this presentation card.
