From exciting dragon coin bars to their classic Australian natural heritage series featuring the Kangaroo, Koala, and Kookaburra and also the world-famous Lunar series, the Perth Mint is always at the forefront of the best products on the bullion market. Furthermore, this year they embarked on a new series of coins aptly named “The Next Generation.”

The Next Generation

Bullion Exchanges is proud to carry the newest addition to the fantastic products from the Perth Mint. The first installment in the Next Generation series is the 2 oz. Silver Koala coin struck from .9999 fine silver. This new Silver Koala coin features the image of a mother koala with a baby on its back. It eschews the classic themes of Australian wildlife and beautiful flora and fauna. The marsupial is sitting on a branch of a eucalyptus tree, which is the natural habitat and base diet for Koalas. Designed by the Perth Mint’s designer Aleysha Howarth, who is also responsible for designing many more coins in the Perth Mint’s collection.

Old Techniques, New Technology

The coin is struck as a Piedfort. Piedfort - the word, perhaps unfamiliar to most modern collectors and investors. However, it is actually familiar to many folks who have smaller but fatter coins in their collections. The word “piedfort” actually originates from French, where “pied” means “foot” and “fort” translates to “strong.” Originally, these types of coins presented coinage to European royalty in the Middle Ages. Since royalty and wealthy people were the only ones that were able to afford such luxuries, these items became highly collectible and prized by those individuals. Nowadays, everyone has access to start enjoying the passion that these kings and queens enjoyed. In fact, the Perth Mint has been minting piedfort coins for years with the heavier, thicker issue coins. However, they are now returning back to the original terminology.
