With the 1 oz Gold Koala 2026, the Perth Mint continues one of the most charming series in the numismatic world. Since 2008, the koala design has been reimagined every year – and it is precisely this constant change that makes each edition a distinctive collector's piece. This year's coin depicts the endearing marsupial with a eucalyptus twig in its mouth, nestled among leaves and branches. Above the animal is the distinctive lettering "KOALA", flanked by the year of issue, weight and fineness. The small "P" unmistakably identifies the coin as a product of the Perth Mint.

The centrepiece of this edition is the High Relief minting. A particularly deep blank is used for this purpose, allowing the relief to project far above the surface. As a result, the koala appears almost tangible, nearly three-dimensional – an interplay of light and shadow that beautifully highlights the fine fur texture and the leaves. The obverse of the coin bears the portrait of King Charles III, framed by the inscription "AUSTRALIA" and the face value of 100 AUD. The coin is delivered protected in a coin capsule as new merchandise in Brilliant Uncirculated condition.

What makes this collector's coin so appealing is its scarcity: the worldwide mintage is limited to just 1,000 pieces. Such a strict limitation is rare among Australian gold coins and ensures that demand from collectors and enthusiasts frequently exceeds the limited supply. Combined with the annually changing design and the elaborate high relief, this creates an appreciation potential that goes well beyond the pure metal value. Anyone who builds a collection over the years is creating not just a collection, but genuine rarities.

An annually changing design, sculptural high relief and a mintage of just 1,000 pieces – this combination makes the Gold Koala one of the most sought-after collector's items from Down Under.

Naturally, the coin combines collector appeal with the classic advantages of precious metal. Gold is regarded as humanity's oldest currency, possesses intrinsic value and has been recognised worldwide for thousands of years. It retains its lustre, is highly liquid and can be sold at any time – qualities that make it a reliable building block for long-term wealth accumulation and crisis protection. In addition, there is a tax advantage: the purchase of investment gold is exempt from VAT in Germany, and profits from a later sale are generally tax-free after a holding period of at least one year.
