Description

2011 Australia Koala 0 - 2oz Gold Proof NGC PF69 Coin #208 of 250. Shipped with USPS Priority Mail.
The Perth Mint of Australia created the 2011 Australian Koala Gold Proof Coin to mark a 4th annual appearance in a series that is dedicated to the marsupial native to that region.
Each year, the reverse of the coin features a new image showing the iconic creature in its native habitat among the eucalypt forests of Australia. Despite the fact that eucalyptus leaves are toxic to most creatures, this marsupial thrives there with the encroachment of man seen as its biggest threat.
This 2 oz gold proof has a legal tender face value of AUD 0 and is struck from 99.99 pure gold. The true worth lies in the intrinsic melt value coupled with its numismatic value.
Shown on the obverse of all the proof coins is Ian Rank-Broadley’s effigy of Queen Elizabeth II of England. She is surrounded by the inscriptions of ELIZABETH II, AUSTRALIA, 2011 and the face value of the strike.
The reverse of the proof coins contain the 2011 koala design chosen by The Perth Mint which depicts an adult koala sitting in the fork of a tree as its young clings to one of the branches. The design was created by Elise Martinson. Also shown on the reverse is the Perth Mint’s historic ‘P’ mintmark and a small 9999 GOLD inscription.
