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 shows the endearing marsupial with a eucalyptus twig in its mouth, nestled amid leaves and branches. Above the animal is the bold inscription "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, allowing the relief to stand out far above the surface. As a result, the koala appears almost tangible, nearly three-dimensional – an interplay of light and shadow that impressively brings out the fine fur texture and the leaves. On the obverse, the coin is adorned with the portrait of King Charles III, framed by the inscription "AUSTRALIA" and the face value of 100 AUD. The fine piece is delivered protected in a coin capsule as new merchandise in Proof condition.

What makes this collector's coin so appealing is its scarcity: the worldwide mintage is limited to just 200 pieces. Such a strict limitation is rare among Australian gold coins and ensures that demand from collectors and enthusiasts frequently exceeds the modest supply. Combined with the annually changing design and the elaborate high relief, this creates an appreciation potential that extends well beyond the pure metal value. Anyone who builds up a collection of the series over the years creates not just a collection, but genuine rarities.

An annually changing design, sculptural high relief and a mintage of just 200 pieces – this combination makes the Gold Koala one of the most coveted collector's items from Down Under.

Naturally, the coin combines collector appeal with the classic advantages of the precious metal. Gold is considered the oldest currency of mankind, possesses intrinsic value and has been recognised worldwide for millennia. 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. There is also 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 minimum holding period of one year.
