Australia – 2012 – Koala – High Relief – 1oz Gold Proof – First Strike – PCGS PR70 Deep Cameo

This 2012 Australian gold coin features one of the Perth Mint’s most iconic motifs: the koala, in particularly detailed high-relief minting. The depiction of the resting animal on a eucalyptus branch is artistically sophisticated and gains additional depth and expressiveness through the exceptionally three-dimensional minting.

The coin was minted from a full ounce of fine gold (999.9/1000) – in the flawless quality typical of the Perth Mint. The combination of high relief and proof finish highlights the finest design elements, making this edition particularly attractive to collectors with a focus on modern numismatics and high-quality animal motifs.

Another special feature: This edition was certified as First Strike with PR70 DCAM (Deep Cameo) by the PCGS.
