Silver Koala Berlin Bear Privy


The koala is the iconic symbols of Australia, made all the more desirable by the Perth Mints execution of this cute and cuddly critter in pure silver,artistically rendered in a reverse proof finish in which the design or devices are mirrored. This year a bright eyed baby joey watches us from the fork of a gum or eucalyptus tree, while itself being observed by the watchful eye of the mother koala. This is no ordinary Silver Koala this is the first ever privy marked koala coin to be sold, the privy mark takes the form of the city of Berlin coat of arms, a heraldic bear rampant on a shield, In addition this unique coin was issued as a coin show specialat the World Money Fair in Berlin, adding to the investment appeal of this unique release is the extremely low mintage limit of only 50,000...
