2010 Panda & Koala – World Expo 1oz Silver Proof Coin

Celebrate international friendship and cultural exchange with the 2010 Panda & Koala – World Expo Silver Proof Coin, issued by The Perth Mint to commemorate Australia’s participation in the Shanghai World Expo. This beautifully designed coin features the Expo mascots—China’s beloved panda and Australia’s iconic koala—portrayed in rich colour against a natural backdrop.

Struck from 1 troy ounce of 99.9% pure silver, the coin showcases a stunning proof finish, combining fine detail with vibrant colourisation. The obverse features the effigy of Queen Elizabeth II by Ian Rank‑Broadley. Issued as legal tender under Australian law, this coin was part of a limited worldwide release of just 30,000 coins, many of which were distributed exclusively at the Expo.
