{{/presale}}When it comes to buying platinum, investors have historically had a limited number of options. While platinum coins are growing in variety and diversity in the 21st century, the 20th century saw fewer options available and the Australian Koala Platinum Coin was one of the earliest options. Today, you have the chance to get 1989 Australian Koala 1 oz Platinum Coins online from Provident Metals.
Highlights:
Australian Koala Platinum Coins were available from Perth Mint from 1988 to 2000. The eventual cancellation of the series was the result of a significant dip in demand for platinum in the early 21st century.
Obverse
On the obverse of 1989 Koala 1 oz Platinum Coins, you will find a bust of Queen Elizabeth II. Her Majesty is shown here in right-profile relief wearing the George IV State Diadem Crown. This design was created for the Royal Mint in 1985 by Raphael Maklouf and featured on the coinage until 1997. Inscriptions include ELIZABETH II, AUSTRALIA, and 100 DOLLARS.
Reverse
The reverse design of the 1989 Australian Koala Platinum Coin comes with a depiction of the koala, a marsupial native to the Australian continent. Here, the koala is shown seated on all fours and is set against a blank background. Inscriptions read THE AUSTRALIAN KOALA, 1 OZ 9995 PLATINUM, and 1989.
History
The 1989 issue of the Australian Koala 1 oz Platinum Coin was the second in the history of the series and achieved the highest recorded mintage for this weight. Additional options in the series included 1/2 oz, 1/4 oz, and 1/10 oz platinum coins.
Ordering
1989 Australian Koala 1 oz Platinum Coins are available here in individual protective capsules. The coins have a one-time design of the koala on the reverse that was not repeated in other years.
