| Additional information |
Australia's gold Koala bullion series launched in 1980 under the RAM before Perth Mint assumed production, and the program has always featured an annually changing reverse design — a deliberate policy to encourage collector demand alongside bullion buyers. The .9999 fineness adopted by Perth Mint placed these coins among the purest gold issues commercially available at the time, marginally exceeding the .999 standard then common in competing sovereign programs.
The two-troy-ounce format is the least common of the standard Koala weight increments in secondary market circulation.
