Comment
Listed as MS in Krause, but only reported as Proof by the Perth Mint and is confirmed as Proof only.Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the 2012 Australian Elizabeth II 4th Portrait Koala Silver Bullion Coin is that it has a unique feature that sets it apart from other coins. The coin's reverse side features a laser-engraved pattern of a koala's fur, which adds an extra layer of detail and realism to the design. This special touch was achieved through a technique called "micro-engraving," which allows for intricate designs to be etched onto the coin's surface with extreme precision. This feature not only enhances the coin's aesthetic appeal but also adds an extra layer of security against counterfeiting.
