1 oz Silver Koala Brisbane Money Expo 2026 (Mintage: 2,500 | Coloured)

1 oz Silver Koala ANDA Show Special 2026 (Coloured) – vibrant special edition from the Perth Mint

Few animals are as symbolic of the fifth continent as the koala. With the Silver Koala ANDA Show Special 2026 in a colour-finished design, the Perth Mint brings this beloved creature to a bullion coin struck from the purest fine silver. The coloured variant was issued specifically for Australia's ANDA coin fairs – a strictly limited special strike that combines the popularity of the Koala series with the particular appeal of an exclusive mintage. The result is a piece that appeals equally to investors and collectors alike.

• Investment objective: a bullion coin offering an inflation hedge and lasting value preservation.
• Design: a coloured koala resting on a eucalyptus branch – the series' annually changing animal motif.
• Material / fineness: one troy ounce of fine silver of outstanding purity, 999.9/1,000.
• Manufacturer: struck by the world-renowned Perth Mint.
• Country of origin: Australia.

The design: Australia's favourite cuddly animal in vivid colour

On the obverse, a koala rests on the branch of a eucalyptus tree – thanks to the colouring, the animal appears especially lifelike and vibrant. To the right of the design is the time-honoured "P" mint mark of the Perth Mint. The reverse bears the official portrait of King Charles III as well as the face value of 1 AUD. Since 2007, the Koala silver coin has been issued every year with a new, photorealistically designed motif. It is precisely this yearly change that makes the series so appealing to collectors, since each year's mintage remains a closed edition – and the coloured ANDA special edition adds yet another highlight to the whole.

Fine silver for investors and collectors

The coin contains one ounce of silver with a fine weight of 31.1 grams, measures 40.90 mm in diameter, and is supplied brand new, in Brilliant Uncirculated condition, in a protective coin capsule. The fine silver used, with its high purity of 999.9/1,000, stands for first-class quality "Made by Perth Mint". As a physical precious metal, the coin can be easily traded and converted into cash at any time – an advantage that many investors particularly value with silver coins.

Silver has been known for thousands of years as a coinage metal, a medium of exchange, and a store of value. Unlike pure fiat money, it possesses an intrinsic value based on its physical properties and real-world applications. Industrial demand in particular ensures robust, broadly diversified demand.

Good reasons for the Silver Koala 2026

• Industrial demand: silver is indispensable in electronics, solar technology, and medical technology.
• Limited supply: natural scarcity supports long-term value stability.
• Tangible asset: serves as an inflation hedge and solid crisis protection.
• Easy entry point: often more affordable than gold compared, and therefore ideal for private investors.
• Diversification: precious metals provide a sensible complement to a broadly diversified portfolio.

Tax note and value preservation across generations

In Germany, profits from the sale of silver are generally tax-free provided the holding period is at least one year. This makes the Silver Koala suitable not only for short-term holding, but also as a long-term building block of wealth that you can pass down through generations.

Silver is durable, retains its physical properties over time, and has long been prized as a symbol of wealth and lasting value – a reliable companion in both calm and uncertain times.

Anyone wishing to buy the coloured Koala special edition secures a characterful combination of bullion coin and collector's item. A low mintage, vibrant colouring, and the craftsmanship quality of the Perth Mint make the 1 oz Silver Koala ANDA Show Special 2026 a highlight in any silver collection.
