2024 1/10 oz Australian Koala Gold Coin (BU)
Out of Stock
The Perth Mint Gold Koala is primarily struck in proof — polished dies, frosted relief, and mirror-like fields on the majority of releases. A BU option is available in the 1/10 oz size for buyers who prefer bullion-grade finish at a lower premium. Every other size in the series remains proof only.
Each year's reverse depicts the koala in a completely new setting — resting in a eucalyptus tree, walking along a branch, a mother with joey. Perth Mint's engravers are among the best in the world, and the Koala series consistently shows it.
The obverse carries the effigy of the reigning British monarch — King Charles III on releases from 2024 onward — alongside the legal tender denomination. All coins carry the Perth Mint's distinctive "P" mintmark.
Every year's design is distinct — no two releases look alike. Each year's mintage closes permanently when it sells out.
Polished dies, frosted relief, and mirror fields on all proof releases. BU available in 1/10 oz size.
24-karat four-nines fineness across every size and every year. Government-backed Australian legal tender.
Dealer Insight — Why the Koala Is the Proof Collector's Choice
Among Perth Mint's Australian wildlife series — Kangaroo, Kookaburra, Koala — the Koala stands apart as the most proof-focused. The Gold Kangaroo runs as a bullion BU program. The Gold Koala has always led with proof, which is exactly why it carries stronger numismatic collector interest year after year. Same government mint, same .9999 gold — but a collector pedigree the Kangaroo simply doesn't carry.
Gold Koala Coins are available in six sizes — from fractional gram weights for entry-level buyers to larger proof coins for serious collectors. All sizes carry the same .9999 fine gold purity and identical annual Koala design.
Perth Mint sets a maximum mintage for every Gold Koala release. Once that cap is hit — no more coins are produced for that year. Ever. This is not a rolling program.
As an example: the 2014 Gold Koala 1/4 oz was capped at just 1,000 coins. When they are gone, the secondary market takes over — and prices follow accordingly. Collectors who track year-specific designs understand this well.

Once a year's mintage closes, no further production occurs for that dated design.
Every year since 2008 is a unique, closed-mintage design — a growing catalog of collectible gold.
The Correct Time to Buy Is Always Current Year
Collectors filling gaps on prior-year Gold Koalas buy from secondary market sources — often at meaningful premiums above what authorized dealers charge on current releases. Buying current year from BOLD at live spot-linked pricing is always the right entry. Secondary market pricing is the cost of waiting.
Buyer Type 1
Collectors who want Perth Mint quality with genuine numismatic upside. The annual design change means every year's release is distinct and limited — a proof collector's ideal program structure.
Buyer Type 2
IRA buyers who want .9999 fine gold from a government-backed mint with IRS-approved purity. The Perth Mint's sovereign status and legal tender backing means custodians approve these without question.
Buyer Type 3
Collectors building year-by-year sets alongside the Kookaburra and Kangaroo series. The Koala is the most proof-focused of the three — making it the natural choice for collectors who prefer that finish over BU bullion.
