2012 Australia Koala 1 oz Silver Coin NGC MS 70 One Of First 7500

A Perfect Early Strike Koala

The Australian Silver Koala Series, first introduced by the Perth Mint in 2007, has become one of the most beloved silver coin programs worldwide. Each year features a new design, ensuring lasting appeal for both investors and collectors. The 2012 Australia Koala 1 oz Silver Coin stands out even more because it is certified by NGC in perfect MS70 condition and identified as being one of the first 7,500 coins struck that year. This early strike pedigree adds another level of exclusivity, making it highly desirable for serious numismatists.

Design and Presentation

The 2012 issue showcases a tranquil scene of a koala asleep on a tree branch, an original design by artist Aleysha Howarth. On the obverse, the coin features the effigy of Queen Elizabeth II by Ian Rank-Broadley, along with its face value of 1 Australian Dollar. These design elements combine national symbolism with exceptional craftsmanship.

Each coin is struck from 1 troy ounce of .999 fine silver, measuring 40.6mm in diameter with a thickness of 2.98mm. The Perth Mint’s iconic “P” mint mark further confirms authenticity. Encapsulated by NGC, the coin’s pristine grade is guaranteed, with certification ensuring both condition and early strike status.

A Rare Collectible Opportunity

The “One of First 7,500 Struck” label distinguishes this coin from standard releases. Early strikes often carry sharper details and greater collector interest, and when paired with an MS70 grade, the result is a coin at the top of its class. Backed by the government of Australia as legal tender, this release carries both intrinsic silver value and collectible prestige.

For collectors of Perth Mint series, registry set competitors, or anyone seeking a coin with guaranteed condition and limited pedigree, the 2012 Australia Koala 1 oz Silver MS70 is an opportunity not to be missed.
