About Australian Platinum Coins
The most recognized series within this category is the Australian Platinum Koala, which debuted in 1988 and features annually rotating reverse designs depicting the koala in various natural settings. The obverse carries the Ian Rank-Broadley effigy of Queen Elizabeth II on earlier strikes and, on more recent issues, the Jody Clark portrait. All standard bullion issues are struck in .9995 fine platinum. The Perth Mint's proof and special releases within this family are known for their high production quality and individually numbered certificates of authenticity included with packaged coins.
On Lone Star Coins, buyers will find Australian Platinum Coins listed by multiple specialist dealers, covering a range of years from the series' early issues through recent mintages. Listings span BU bullion strikes, proof coins in original Perth Mint packaging, and raw singles across various grades. Sub-categories may include specific series such as the Platinum Koala or special collector sets, allowing buyers to narrow their search by format or year.
