A Tribute to Friendship — The Koala and Panda in Silver
Celebrate unity and nature’s beauty with the 2025 Australia Beijing International Coin Exposition Koala with Panda Privy 1 oz Silver Coin in Card. This limited-edition release from The Perth Mint honors the friendship between Australia and China, symbolized by two of their most loved creatures — the koala and the panda.
The koala, a gentle Australian icon, holds a special place in the nation’s heart. Its peaceful nature and soft, childlike features have made it a universal symbol of comfort and care. The design captures this charm perfectly, showing a young koala nestled against a eucalyptus tree, evoking a sense of calm and innocence.
The giant panda, native to China, is equally admired around the world. With its bold black-and-white markings, it represents peace and harmony. More than a national treasure, the panda stands as an enduring emblem of friendship and goodwill between nations.
Elegant Design and Expert Craftsmanship
Struck from 1 troy ounce of 99.99% pure silver, this coin reflects The Perth Mint’s renowned artistry and precision. The reverse, designed by Aleysha Howarth, portrays the charming koala alongside a panda-shaped privy mark, symbolizing unity between both countries. The obverse, by Dan Thorne, features the effigy of His Majesty King Charles III, confirming its status as Australian legal tender under the Currency Act 1965.
Each coin comes displayed in a specially designed presentation card inspired by a traditional Chinese garden. The packaging enhances the coin’s cultural theme, combining elegance with meaningful artistry.
A Limited Edition Collectible
With a maximum mintage of only 2,500 coins, this issue stands as a true collector’s treasure. Its limited availability, combined with exceptional detail, makes it a highlight of the Beijing International Coin Exposition.
This release not only showcases The Perth Mint’s craftsmanship but also celebrates global unity and appreciation for wildlife. As a result, it’s an ideal addition for collectors who value coins that carry both artistry and meaning.
