1 Kilo Silver Koala – $30 Face Value?! | Money Metals
1 Kilo Silver Koala – $30 Face Value?! Yes, it’s real.
In this silent showcase, we feature the stunning Australian Silver Koala 1 Kilo Coin — struck by the world-renowned Perth Mint and issued as legal tender under the Australian Currency Act 1965.
This massive silver coin weighs one full kilogram — approximately 32.151 troy ounces — and is crafted in either .999 or .9999 fine silver. With an impressive diameter of about 100.6 mm (nearly 4 inches) and a thickness of approximately 14.6 mm, it’s one of the most visually striking government-issued silver bullion coins in the world.
Despite its enormous silver content, the coin carries a legal tender face value of $30 AUD. Of course, its silver melt value far exceeds that amount — which is part of what makes it so fascinating to see in person.
Each year features a new koala design on the reverse, showcasing Australia’s iconic wildlife in detailed natural scenes. Depending on the year, the obverse displays an effigy of Queen Elizabeth II or King Charles III, adding historical continuity to this collectible series.
