The koala is loved by Australians and overseas visitors alike for its endearing bear-like appearance and soft grey fur. Each year we celebrate this adorable marsupial with highly anticipated original artistry. This program is expected to mirror the popularity of the Kookaburra Lunar Privy program, which began in 2012 with the Lunar Dragon Privy coin, and has since grown into a highly collectible coin series from the Perth Mint. This Dog Privy is limited to a mintage of 15,000 coins.
