Description:
The 2020-P Australia 1 oz Silver Koala, certified by ANACS as PR70 Deep Cameo (DCAM), features a stunning high-relief incused design from the Perth Mint. Struck in .9999 fine silver, this limited-edition proof showcases the beloved Australian Koala in exceptional depth and contrast. Out of a total mintage of 5,000 coins, only 200 were graded PR70 DCAM by ANACS, making this example—serial #027,28,145—some of the finest known. The incused strike, where the design is recessed below the surface, accentuates the intricate fur texture and mirrored proof finish, creating an extraordinary visual presentation.

Historical Note:
The Perth Mint’s 2020 Silver Koala High Relief Incused Proof represents a pinnacle of modern minting artistry. While 5,000 were struck worldwide, only 200 coins achieved a flawless PR70 DCAM grade from ANACS, making them among the rarest and most desirable of the series. The incused design style, which recesses the artwork below the surface of the coin, creates stunning contrast between the frosted devices and mirror fields. With its limited mintage, perfect grade, and serial number #028, this coin offers both beauty and exclusivity for modern proof collectors.
