A Special ANDA Brisbane Release

The ANDA (Australasian Numismatic Dealers Association) Money Expos are among the most popular specialty coin events in Australia, attracting collectors from around the world. The Perth Mint traditionally issues exclusive show-only versions of their most iconic coins for select ANDA events, making them ultra-limited releases with tremendous collector appeal.

The 2025 Brisbane Money Expo Special highlights the iconic Koala series with an entirely new colorized rendering of the annual design. This exclusive version enhances the natural textures and lifelike qualities of the koala, giving depth and personality to one of Australia’s most beloved native animals.

The 2025 Koala Design

The reverse of the 2025 silver Koala features a charming scene of an adult koala clinging to a tree branch, perched just above a cluster of leaves. The colorization brings warm, natural tones to the design—adding realism to the fur, the bark texture, and the leafy environment. The design includes the inscriptions “KOALA,” the “P” Perth Mint mintmark, the weight, purity, and the 2025 year-date.

The obverse features the Dan Thorne effigy of His Majesty King Charles III, along with the monetary denomination. This marks the continuation of Australia’s royal transition in modern coinage and ensures the coin's status as sovereign silver backed by the Australian government.

The Koala Series

First introduced in 2007, the Australian Koala bullion series quickly became one of the Perth Mint’s flagship programs. Known for its annually changing designs, the series highlights the endearing character and natural beauty of the koala, an animal unmistakably tied to Australian identity.

Koala coins are typically struck in 1 oz and 1 kilo formats, with a mintage cap of 300,000 coins for the 1 oz bullion version—a significantly lower limit than many global bullion programs. This built-in scarcity has helped establish the Koala as one of the most collectible silver bullion series worldwide.

Together with the Kookaburra, Kangaroo, Lunar Series and Swan programs, the Koala has cemented its reputation as one of the cornerstone offerings from the Perth Mint.
