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 and makes this issue particularly attractive to collectors focusing 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.
