We offer a year date guarantee in new mint condition, i.e. if the item has a year in the description, it is in new condition straight from the mint, and any previous years are listed and grouped under the random year product listing, which are offered in secondary condition.
What sizes and weights are available for Perth Mint Silver Koala Coins?
Perth Mint currently offers Silver Koala coins in two main weights:

In previous years, 2 oz, 10 oz, and 5 oz versions were also produced but have since been discontinued.
How do Silver Koala coins compare to Silver Kookaburra coins?
